If you do not see all the available painters
If you installed InfoMaker from the PowerBuilder Enterprise setup program,
you, or others in your organization who install and set up your software, chose
to install a full set of painters (typical install) or a minimal set (compact install).
The minimal combination includes the Report painter, the Query painter, and
the Library painter. The optional painters are the Database painter, the Form
painter, and the Data Pipeline painter.
For complete information about installing InfoMaker, see the Installation
Guide.
What you can do using InfoMaker
You use InfoMaker to create reports, queries, forms, data pipelines, and
applications. You can also work with databases.
Reports
In InfoMaker, you use the Report painter to create sophisticated reports of data.
You can easily group and summarize data. You can view reports on the screen
or print them. You cannot change data in a report. To change data, you use the
Database painter or the Form painter.
