The best way to present a wide grid for printing?

We have a lot of WIDE html grids that scroll horizontally inside a DIV in our web app.

I would like to find a better strategy for printing these grids on an A4 portrait page.

What I would like to know is the best way to present / display grids / data like this.

This question is not HTML compliant, I am looking for development strategies, not CSS @page directives.

In fact, an entire book is devoted to (among other things) fast methods for computing \ pi: "Pi and AGM" by Jonathan and Peter Borvein (available on Amazon).

I have studied AGM and related algorithms quite a bit: it's quite interesting (although sometimes nontrivial).

Note that to implement most modern algorithms for calculating \ pi, you will need a multi-arithmetic arithmetic library (GMP is not a bad option, although I have used it since then).



The time complexity of the best algorithms is in O (M (n) log (n)), where M (n) is the time complexity for multiplying two n-bit integers (M (n) = O (n log (n) log (log (n))) using FFT-based algorithms that are usually needed when computing the \ pi digits, and such an algorithm is implemented in GMP).

Note that while the math behind the algorithms may not be trivial, the algorithms themselves are usually a few lines of pseudocode, and their implementation is usually very simple (unless you choose to write your own multiprecision arithmetic :)).

I think it really depends on your goal.



  • In book format . I usually try to expand two pages.
  • For conference or poster . Find an optional large format printer and print it on a large sheet of paper.
  • Something more informal : Expand regular pages and join them together.
  • Powerpoint : don't show the whole chart, they won't be able to read the data anyway, just show the relevant information.
