Examples

Related issue: TASKSNET-4597 - Field ‘TaskSummaryName’ can be used in view’s columns

In order to show ‘TaskSummaryName’ column in exported document the next code sample can be used:

TableField field = new TableField();
field.setField(Field.TaskSummaryName);
field.setTitle("Task Summary Name");
field.setWidth(30);

project.getViews().toList().get(0).getTable().getTableFields().add(field);

Related issue: TASKSNET-4642 - Add support for user-defined page size when saving a project to a graphical format

SaveOptions.CustomPageSize property added so the user can specify custom page size when saving a project to graphical formats.

Project project = new Project("test.mpp");
ImageSaveOptions saveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFileFormat.PNG);
saveOptions.setTimescale(Timescale.DefinedInView);
saveOptions.setCustomPageSize(new java.awt.Dimension(1224, 340));
saveOptions.setStartDate(new GregorianCalendar(2012, Calendar.DECEMBER, 22).getTime());
saveOptions.setEndDate(new GregorianCalendar(2013, Calendar.MAY, 10).getTime());
saveOptions.setPresentationFormat(PresentationFormat.ResourceUsage);
project.save("output.png", saveOptions);

Related issue: TASKSNET-3585 - Add support of “RenderToSinglePage” option to TaskUsage, ResourceUsage, TaskSheet and ResourceSheet views

Now SaveOptions.RenderToSinglePage property can be used to specify that the project should be rendered to single page document. In this case the size of the page is adjusted to fit project on one page. SaveOptions.RenderToSinglePage flag is applicable when project is saved to PDF or graphical formats.

Project project = new Project("test.mpp");

PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
saveOptions.setTimescale(Timescale.DefinedInView);
saveOptions.setRenderToSinglePage(true);
saveOptions.setStartDate(new GregorianCalendar(2012, Calendar.DECEMBER, 22).getTime());
saveOptions.setEndDate(new GregorianCalendar(2013, Calendar.MAY, 10).getTime());
saveOptions.setPresentationFormat(PresentationFormat.TaskUsage);

project.save("output.pdf", saveOptions);
Project project = new Project("TestProject.mpp");

ImageSaveOptions saveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFileFormat.PNG);
saveOptions.setTimescale(Timescale.DefinedInView);
saveOptions.setRenderToSinglePage(true);
saveOptions.setStartDate(new GregorianCalendar(2012, Calendar.DECEMBER, 22).getTime());
saveOptions.setEndDate(new GregorianCalendar(2013, Calendar.MAY, 10).getTime());
saveOptions.setPresentationFormat(PresentationFormat.TaskUsage);
saveOptions.setHorizontalResolution(300);
saveOptions.setVerticalResolution(300);

project.save("output.png", saveOptions);

Related issue: TASKSNET-4608 - Portrait/Landscape orientation setting ignored when printing / saving to pdf

Added PageSize.DefinedInView enum value so the user can specify that the project should be rendered using page size and page orientation settings defined in view’s settings. These settings can be changed using “Page Setup” dialog of Microsoft Project.

Project project = new Project("test.mpp");
View view = null;
for (View v : project.getViews()) {
    if (v.getScreen() == ViewScreen.Gantt) {
        view = v;
        break;
    }
}

System.out.println("Page size specified in view settings: "
        + PrinterPaperSize.toString(PrinterPaperSize.class, view.getPageInfo().getPageSettings().getPaperSize())
);
System.out.println("Page orientation: " 
        + (view.getPageInfo().getPageSettings().isPortrait() ? "Portrait" : "Landscape")
);

ImageSaveOptions saveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFileFormat.PNG);
saveOptions.setPageSize(PageSize.DefinedInView);
saveOptions.setTimescale(Timescale.DefinedInView);
saveOptions.setStartDate(new GregorianCalendar(2012, Calendar.DECEMBER, 22).getTime());
saveOptions.setEndDate(new GregorianCalendar(2013, Calendar.MAY, 10).getTime());
saveOptions.setPresentationFormat(PresentationFormat.GanttChart);
project.save("output.png", saveOptions);
