IES VisualPlate User's Guide
Reports

Reports in VisualPlate are designed to present information in a clear, concise, and organized fashion. Reports can include both text-based and graphical information that can be printed to paper, to .pdf, or saved in a number of different file formats. Graphical information can be inserted into a report using the Copy and Paste commands or printed directly using the File | Print command.

Report Essentials

Custom Report Logo

The report may be customized to include your own (company) logo in the header. All you need to do is create a logo image: ReportLogo.png or ReportLogo.jpg, and place it in the IES\Customer folder, which you can access via the Tools | Custom Data toolbar command. The image should be kept to less than 5 times wider than it is tall. It will be scaled to fit in the header area, but wide images may cause other text to start wrapping or get truncated. If the image works you'll see it in the report/preview immediately after restarting VisualPlate. This feature is also available in other IES tools.
