wxHtml table with printable image background

Post by tlip »

I think, it may be usable for someone...
I've modified m_tables.cpp file from src/html folder. My modifications are marked by "//tl" comment.
With modified file, after recompilation wxWidgets library, there is parametr "BACKGROUND" for tag <TABLE> supported.
The image file for background of a table may be specified in parameter. A image is scaled to the size of a table.
An additionally parameter "HEIGHT" in pixels may be given: with it a rendered image have this height (before scaling).

As a bonus there is non-standard parameter "FACTOR". It is usable if you need smaller cellspacing, counted as:
new_cellspacing=CELLSPACING/FACTOR

[2021-01-06] I have placed the file m_tables.cpp file one more time.
In the previous version there was a bug when the image file did not exist.

There is a sample of a product in wxHtmlEasyPrinting window in the attached image, from html:

Code: Select all

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<head>
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250">
</head>
<body>
<table BORDER=0 COLS=1 WIDTH="750" HEIGHT="1000" BACKGROUND="img/wx.png" NOSAVE >

Thanks for the contribution!

Have you considered making a pull request at Github? It would be much nicer to have this built into wxWidgets.
Use the source, Luke!
