Welcome to the first and only (as far as we know) Report Writer library for Macintosh C++ programmers.
This is a tiny demo to give a flavour of how OOFRep works. Unfortunately, due to a conflict between finishing another product and the CodeWarrior 11 burn deadlines, we have not been able to provide a more comprehensive demo.
The Sample Report Clipping was taken from the OOFRep Test program, by copying the report into the clipboard.
OOFRep is a wholly object-oriented design and works on a model of nested bands. For example, the Sample Report Clipping shows:
1) a band specified as a Page Header, including a gray line
2) the main 'database view' band showing patient names
3) another database view band, attached as a footer break to show the visits for each patient
4) a graph band, containing an OOFGraph, attached as a footer to the overall report.
One of the particular strengths of the OOFRep model is the ability to set global settings but still override them for a particular report. For example, the page footer on the Sample Report Clipping is a band that has been set as the default footer.
OOFRep is now on sale for Macintosh and Windows, at USD $500. This includes a RAM-based version of the OOFILE database engine, and OOFGraph. OOFGraph can be used without the report writer, and includes its own PowerPlant display window.
The 2D OOFGraph product is available separately for USD $200. An upgrade to 3D is due Q2 '97.
Both OOFGraph and OOFRep are provided with PowerPlant wrapper classes to easily add their preview windows to your application. However, that's the only dependency on PowerPlant. The core engines are not dependent on any application framework.
