Table Background Image

Post by standay »

Hi Sergey,

Second table question. If I insert a background image into a table with 1 col and 1 row, it looks good there, but if I print preview it, it looks really bad. See screenshot below. Is this something I can fix with some setting?

Some images are better than others. PNGs work pretty well, while JPGs vary a lot (well, in the print preview they vary, in the rve they look as expected).

Thanks

Stan

Thanks Sergey, that would be great.

FYI, even if the preview looks odd, it still prints OK.

The printing procedure uses a special image printing code, because the standard on-screen way of drawing pictures does not work for most printers.
The problem was: the same procedure was used when displaying preview of textured backgrounds, and it may produce very low-quality scaling.

In the next update:
- previews will use standard on-screen way of drawing pictures, not only for image objects, but for textured backgrounds too
- scaling quality when printing will be improved (although, as you noticed, even in the current version printing looks ok)
