Pixel Perfect template image sizing

paolo_cordini — Fri, 23 May 2025 13:30:37 GMT

I have experimented that the "Sizing" options when placing a Sense chart in a PP template have apparently no or very little effect on the final result.

Therefore, it is very difficult to have all the parts of the chart visible in the report output (labels, legends, etc..). The only way is to set an unreasonable huge size for the chart, which often means that a single object should take the whole page estate.

Not always it is possible to replace a Sense chart with a native PP one and, even when it is possible, it means additional time needed, when a proper chart is already available in Sense.

But this way it is not possible to obtain a custom formatted report, as requested in most cases, so unfortunately the PP template is rarely useful.

Does anybody have some comment or maybe workarounds on this issue?

Paolo

Sorry, I forgot to specify: I'm working with Cloud Pixel Perfect template, not NPrinting....

Hey @paolo_cordini I think you are looking for a zoom level control (similar to tabular reporting add-in) for the PixelPerfect editor?

Hi @Andrew_Kruger. Yes, I think this would do the job.

@paolo_cordini sit tight, the team is working it's magic. Keep an eye on What's New last week of June into first half of July.

HI @Andrew_Kruger

I tested the new Zoom settings in PP template. Actually now we have better control on the label visibility. Still, in some extreme case, there is no way to show the labels (see below). But I think this is due to the Sense visualization object (Sankey in this case) and there is no way to overcome this behavior in the template....
