Runtime Image Watermark

[BCS]

I'm trying to use the watermark as a means of making my reports look more professional. We plan to render, via professional artists, different themes that are most likely SVG files. The best way I can accomplish this is using (on a 8.5 x 11 inch page) an image that is rendered to take up the entire printable area to server as a background.

This is the basic code I'm using, it loads the image, I can see it loaded into the report object via console.log() but nothing displays. Is this intended, a bug, or me not coding this right? When I use the editor Watermark dialog and load the image with its options, it saves the image as base64 encode, however when loaded thru the browser it doesn't show either. If I preview the report inside the Editor, it shows as advertised. If there is another or easier way to accomplish this I'm open to suggestions.

Using the following code to try to load it:

Code: Select all

var options = new Stimulsoft.Viewer.StiViewerOptions({showTooltips:false});
var viewer = new Stimulsoft.Viewer.StiViewer(options, "StiViewer", false);
var report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport({isAsyncMode: true});

report.loadFile("Backgroundimg.mrt");

var page = report.pages.getByIndex(0)

page.watermark.image = Stimulsoft.System.Drawing.Image.fromFile('header.png')
page.watermark.aspectRatio = true
page.watermark.imageStretch = true
page.watermark.imageShowBehind= true

report.renderAsync(function () {
    viewer.report = report;
    viewer.renderHtml("viewerContent");
})

It's been a week, has this even been looked at?

Hello,

Please send us a simple project which reproduces the issue for analysis.

Thank you.

...the code is in my original post along with the image I wish to use...

My report file was a brand new blank report with nothing on it.

How is the progress on this, I am badly needing this to finish a phase in a project.

Hello.

We have checked your code. It is working right.
But it is not really right. There are no semicolons at the end on some lines.
This could be the cause of your issue.

Sorry, but we need additional information to help you.
What version of our product do you use?
Maybe the cause is in something else.

Thank you.

The semi-colons are not required.

I am running v2018.3.3

Here is a tangible example with semicolons for the sake of argument. (See Zip File)

Adjust paths where needed.

I also included screenshots of the desktop editor vs the browser.
