Set Report Font VI

font settings source (Report Generation Toolkit) specifies the way in which you want to select font settings. The VI ignores this input for HTML reports.

0	VI Inputs (default)—The VI uses the values you set in the font settings input. If you do not wire font settings, the VI uses the default font settings of the report class.
1	Font Dialog Box—A dialog box appears that you can use to select font settings.

text color is the color of the text in the report. You can wire a color box constant to this input. The default is T, which leaves the text unchanged.

report in is a reference to the report whose appearance, data, and printing you want to control. Use the Create Report VI to generate this LabVIEW class object.

Set Report Font Details

The available properties include italic, bold, strikethrough, underline, color, font name, font size, character set, and weight. The font you specify in the VI becomes the default font for the report.

If you use the Set Report Font VI to set a font in an HTML report, the <font> tag is used to set the font. This tag remains valid until the end of the file. There is no </font> used.

The table generated by the Append Table to Report VI does not use the font defined by the Set Report Font VI. The header and body texts of the table have different default fonts. You can use HTML tags to configure the text font for each cell of the table. Refer to the example at ni.com for more information about how to generate tables with different fonts.
