Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Sometimes, it is necessary to configure page‑setup settings for worksheets to control printing. These page‑setup settings offer various options.

Setting Page Options

Page‑setup options are fully supported in Aspose.Cells. This article explains how to set page options with Aspose.Cells and shows code samples for setting:

Aspose.Cells provides a class, Workbook, that represents a Microsoft Excel file. The Workbook class contains a Worksheets collection that allows access to each worksheet in the Excel file. A worksheet is represented by the Worksheet class.

The Worksheet class provides the PageSetup property that is used to set the page‑setup options of the worksheet. In fact, this PageSetup property is an object of the PageSetup class used to set different page‑layout options for a printed worksheet. The PageSetup class provides various properties used to set page‑setup options. Some of these properties are discussed below.

Page Orientation

Page orientation can be set to portrait or landscape using the PageSetup class' GetOrientation() property. The GetOrientation() property accepts one of the pre‑defined values in the PageOrientationType enumeration, listed below.

Page Orientation Types	Description
Landscape	Landscape orientation
Portrait	Portrait orientation

Scaling Factor

It is possible to reduce or enlarge a worksheet’s size by adjusting the scaling factor with the PageSetup.GetZoom() property.

FitToPages Options

To fit the contents of the worksheet to a specific number of pages, use the PageSetup class' GetFitToPagesTall() and GetFitToPagesWide() properties. These properties are also used to scale worksheets.

You can either choose the GetFitToPagesTall() / GetFitToPagesWide() properties or the GetZoom() property, but not both at the same time.

Paper Size

Set the paper size that the worksheets will be printed to using the PageSetup class' GetPaperSize() property. The GetPaperSize() property accepts one of the pre‑defined values in the PaperSizeType enumeration, listed below.

Gocpp: Setting Margins with Golang via C++

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Aspose.Cells fully supports Microsoft Excel’s page setup options. Developers may need to configure page setup settings for worksheets to control the printing process. This topic discusses how to use Aspose.Cells to configure page margins.

Setting Margins

Aspose.Cells provides a class, Workbook, that represents an Excel file. The Workbook class contains the Worksheets collection that allows access to each worksheet in the Excel file. A worksheet is represented by the Worksheet class.

The Worksheet class provides the PageSetup property used to set the page setup options for a worksheet. The PageSetup property is an object of the PageSetup class that enables developers to set different page layout options for a printed worksheet. The PageSetup class provides various properties and methods used to set page‑setup options.

Page Margins

Set page margins (left, right, top, bottom) using the PageSetup class members. A few of the methods are listed below which are used to specify page margins:

Center on Page

It is possible to center content on a page horizontally and vertically. For this, there are useful members of the PageSetup class, SetCenterHorizontally() and SetCenterVertically().

Header and Footer Margins

Set header and footer margins with the PageSetup class members such as SetHeaderMargin() and SetFooterMargin().

Gocpp: Setting Headers and Footers with Golang via C++

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Headers and footers are the lines of text displayed above the top margin or below the bottom margin, respectively. Headers and footers can also be added to worksheets. They can be used to display useful information such as page number, author name, topic name, or date and time. Headers and footers are managed using the page‑setup settings.

Setting Headers and Footers

Aspose.Cells allows you to add headers and footers to worksheets at runtime, but we recommend setting headers and footers manually in a pre‑designed file for printing. You can use Microsoft Excel as a GUI tool to set headers and footers to save effort and development time. Aspose.Cells can import the file and preserve the settings.

To add headers and footers at runtime, Aspose.Cells provides special API calls and script commands to format headers and footers.

Script Commands

Script commands are special commands that allow you to set header and footer formatting.

Script Commands	Description
&P	The current page number
&G	A picture
&N	The total number of pages
&D	The current date
&T	The current time
&A	The worksheet name
&F	The file name without its path
&&Text	Shows &Text. For example: &&WO will be displayed as &WO
&"<FontName>"	Represents a font name. For example: &“Arial”
&"<FontName>, <FontStyle>"	Represents font name with style. For example: &“Arial,Bold”
&<FontSize>	Represents font size. For example: “&14abc”. However, if this command is followed by a plain number to be printed in the header, the number should be separated from the font size with a space character. For example: “&14 123”.

Set Headers and Footers

The PageSetup class provides two methods, SetHeader and SetFooter, used to add a header and footer to a worksheet. These methods take only two parameters:

Section – the section where the header or footer should be placed. There are three sections: left, center and right, represented by 0, 1 and 2 respectively.
Script – the script to be used for the header or footer. This script contains script commands to format headers or footers.

Insert an Image into a Header or Footer

The PageSetup class has two additional methods, SetHeaderPicture and SetFooterPicture, used to add pictures into the header and footer. These methods take the following parameters:

Section – the header or footer section where the picture will be placed. There are three sections, left, center and right, represented by the values 0, 1 and 2 respectively.
Byte array – the graphical data (the binary data should be written into the buffer of a byte array).

After executing the code below and opening the file, check the header of the worksheet as follows:

On the File menu, select Page Setup. A dialog will be displayed.
Select the Header/Footer tab.

Gocpp: Setting Print Options with Golang via C++

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Microsoft Excel’s page setup settings provide several print options (also referred to as sheet options) that allow users to control how worksheet pages are printed.

Setting Print Options

These print options allow users to:

Select a specific print area on a worksheet.
Print titles.
Print gridlines.
Print row/column headings.
Print in draft quality.
Print comments.
Print cell errors.
Define page ordering.

Aspose.Cells supports all the print options offered by Microsoft Excel, and developers can easily configure these options for worksheets using the properties offered by the PageSetup class. How these properties are used is discussed below in more detail.

Set Print Area

By default, the print area incorporates all areas of the worksheet that contain data. Developers can establish a specific print area of the worksheet.

To select a specific print area, use the PageSetup class’s GetPrintArea() method. Assign a cell range that defines the print area to this property.

Set Print Titles

Aspose.Cells allows you to designate row and column headers to repeat on all pages of a printed worksheet. To do so, use the PageSetup class’s GetPrintTitleColumns() and GetPrintTitleRows() properties.

The rows or columns that will be repeated are defined by passing their row or column numbers. For example, rows are defined as $1:$2 and columns are defined as $A:$B.

Set Other Print Options

The PageSetup class also provides several other properties to set general print options as follows:

GetPrintGridlines(): a Boolean property that defines whether to print gridlines or not.
GetPrintHeadings(): a Boolean property that defines whether to print row and column headings or not.
GetBlackAndWhite(): a Boolean property that defines whether to print the worksheet in black and white mode or not.
GetPrintComments(): defines whether to print comments on the worksheet or at the end of the worksheet.
GetPrintDraft(): a Boolean property that defines whether to print the sheet without graphics.
GetPrintErrors(): defines whether to print cell errors as displayed, blank, dash, or N/A.

To set the GetPrintComments() and GetPrintErrors() properties, Aspose.Cells also provides two enumerations, PrintCommentsType and PrintErrorsType that contain pre‑defined values to be assigned to those properties respectively.

The pre‑defined values in the PrintCommentsType enumeration are listed below with their descriptions.

Print Comments Types	Description
PrintInPlace	Specifies to print comments as displayed on the worksheet.
PrintNoComments	Specifies not to print comments.
PrintSheetEnd	Specifies to print comments at the end of the worksheet.

The pre‑defined values of PrintErrorsType enumeration are listed below with their descriptions.

Print Errors Types	Description
PrintErrorsBlank	Specifies not to print errors.
PrintErrorsDash	Specifies to print errors as “–”.
PrintErrorsDisplayed	Specifies to print errors as displayed.
PrintErrorsNA	Specifies to print errors as “#N/A”.

Set Page Order

The PageSetup class provides the GetOrder() property, which is used to specify the order of multiple pages of your worksheet to be printed. There are two possible orders:

Down then over: prints all the pages downward before printing any pages to the right.
Over then down: prints pages left to right before printing the pages below.

Aspose.Cells provides an enumeration, PrintOrderType that contains all pre‑defined order types.

The pre‑defined values of the PrintOrderType enumeration are listed below.

Print Order Types	Description
DownThenOver	Represents printing order as down then over.
OverThenDown	Represents printing order as over then down.

Gocpp: How to Print Excel as Fitted Pages Wide and Tall with Golang via C++

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

The FitToPagesWide and FitToPagesTall settings are used in spreadsheet applications (like Microsoft Excel) to control how a spreadsheet is scaled when printing. These settings help ensure that your printed output fits within a specified number of pages, both horizontally and vertically. Here’s a breakdown of each setting:

FitToPagesWide: This setting specifies the number of pages wide that the printed output should fit into. For example, setting FitToPagesWide to 1 means the content will be scaled to fit within a single page width, no matter how wide the spreadsheet is.
FitToPagesTall: This setting specifies the number of pages tall that the printed output should fit into. For example, setting FitToPagesTall to 1 means the content will be scaled to fit within a single page height, regardless of the number of rows.

Why Use FitToPagesWide and FitToPagesTall

Here are some reasons to set FitToPagesWide and FitToPagesTall:

Control Over Printed Layout: By specifying the number of pages wide and tall, you can ensure that your printed document is easy to read and well‑organized, without any columns or rows being split awkwardly across pages.
Consistency: If you’re printing multiple sheets or reports, using these settings helps maintain a consistent format, making it easier to compare and analyze printed documents.
Professional Presentation: Properly scaling and fitting content to a specified number of pages can result in a more professional and polished presentation of your data.

How to Print File as Fitted Pages Wide and Tall in Excel

To set the FitToPagesWide and FitToPagesTall settings in Microsoft Excel, follow these steps:

Open your Excel workbook and go to the sheet you want to print.
Go to the Page Layout tab on the Ribbon.
In the Page Setup group, click the small arrow in the bottom‑right corner to open the Page Setup dialog box.
In the Page Setup dialog box, go to the Page tab.
Under Scaling, select the option Fit to and then specify the number of pages wide and tall you want: enter the number of pages wide you want in the first box (Fit to x pages wide) and the number of pages tall you want in the second box (Fit to y pages tall).

Click OK to apply the settings.

How to Print Excel as Fitted Pages Wide and Tall Using Aspose.Cells

To set FitToPagesWide and FitToPagesTall in a specified worksheet: first, load the sample file, and then modify the Worksheet.GetFitToPagesTall() and Worksheet.GetFitToPagesWide() properties of the PageSetup object for the desired worksheet. Here is an example in C++:

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Possible Usage Scenarios

Setting a print area in a document, such as an Excel spreadsheet, helps control what content is included when printing. Here are some reasons to set a print area:

Focus on Specific Data: You can print only the most relevant sections, avoiding unnecessary content.
Improved Layout: It helps in organizing and fitting the content neatly on the printed pages, avoiding splits or unwanted page breaks.
Save Resources: By limiting the print area, you can reduce the amount of paper and ink used.
Professional Presentation: It ensures that only the polished and final version of data is printed, which is particularly important for reports or presentations.
Consistency: When printing the same document multiple times, having a set print area ensures consistency in the output.

Setting a print area is especially useful in larger documents where only a portion needs to be shared or reviewed in printed form.

How to Set Print Area in Excel

To set a print area in Excel, follow these steps:

Select the cells: Click and drag to select the range of cells you want to set as the print area.
Open the Page Layout tab: Go to the “Page Layout” tab in the ribbon at the top of the Excel window.
Set Print Area: In the “Page Setup” group, click “Print Area”. From the drop‑down menu, select “Set Print Area”.
Adding to the Print Area: If you want to add more cells to the existing print area, select the additional cells, go to “Print Area” in the “Page Layout” tab, and choose “Add to Print Area”.

This action will define the selected cells as the print area. When you print the worksheet, only this defined area will be printed.

How to Clear Print Area in Excel

To clear the print area in Excel, follow these steps:

Open the Page Layout tab: Click on the “Page Layout” tab in the ribbon at the top of the Excel window.
Clear Print Area: In the “Page Setup” group, click “Print Area”. From the drop‑down menu, select “Clear Print Area”.

This action will remove any previously set print area, allowing the entire worksheet to be printed.

What Happens After Clearing the Print Area

Clearing the print area in a spreadsheet application like Excel using Aspose.Cells will result in the entire worksheet being included when you print the document. If a print area is set, only the specified range of cells will be printed. By clearing the print area, you ensure that no specific range is defined, and the default printing behavior, which includes the entire sheet, will take effect.

Default Printing Behavior: The entire worksheet will be considered for printing. This means all cells with data or formatting will be printed.
No Print Area Limits: Previously defined print area limits will be removed. If there were specific rows and columns designated for printing, they will no longer be constrained to those limits.
Full Content Print: All content, including headers, footers, and any other data within the worksheet, will be included in the print job.

Possible Usage Scenarios

Setting print titles in Excel ensures that specific rows or columns are repeated on every printed page, which is especially useful for large spreadsheets that span multiple pages. Here are some reasons why you might set print titles:

Enhanced Readability: Print titles help readers understand the data by keeping headers visible on all pages, making it easier to interpret the information on each page without having to refer back to the first page.
Professional Presentation: Consistently displaying headers or labels on each page creates a more polished and professional appearance for printed documents.
Improved Navigation: For documents with extensive data, repeating the headers on each page allows for quicker navigation and reference, reducing the need to flip back and forth between pages.
Reduced Errors: When headers are present on every page, it minimizes the chances of misinterpretation or data entry errors, as users can easily see the context of the data.
Consistency: Ensuring that important information, such as column headers or row labels, is always visible maintains consistency and clarity throughout the document.
