of_fit_to_pages() method

Fit the printed area to a specific number of pages both vertically and horizontally. If the printed area exceeds the specified number of pages it will be scaled down to fit. This guarantees that the printed area will always appear on the specified number of pages even if the page size or margins change.

Syntax

worksheet.of_fit_to_pages (width, height)

Parameters

WidthThe integer whose value is the number of pages horizontally
HeightThe integer whose value is the number of pages vertically

Return value

Integer. Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs.

Description

Note that although it is valid to use both of_fit_to_pages() and of_set_print_scale() on the same worksheet only one of these options can be active at a time. The last method call made will set the active option.
Note that of_fit_to_pages() will override any manual page breaks that are defined in the worksheet.

Examples

worksheet.of_fit_to_pages ( 1, 1 ) //fit the worksheet's printed area to one page
