Aspect ratio
Canvas
Enable this toggle to maintain the aspect ratio. This means when increasing or decreasing the report’s size, it maintains its shape (i.e. the relationship between its width and height).
If this is disabled, the report can be stretched out of shape either vertically or horizontally.
