Setting Page Orientation at Runtime

[markrgli]

Hi guys,

I have some reports where the page orientation is determined by some user input. The report design files (jrxml) use a portrait orientation but I need to be able to change them before the reports are generated. I have the code that sets the page orientation but it doesn't seem to be working.

Any ideas on this one?

Thank you in advance.

Code:

Changing the orientation on the JasperPrint object does not change the width or height of the generated pages.  In order to do that you'd need to do it before filling the report, i.e. on the JasperDesign object (which would then need to compile).

Hi Lucian,

Thanks a lot. One headache down.

 Hello Lucian,

 

Can you please let me know in detail what I need to do. I stuck with the same problem. I have 6 subreports.  4 of them need to be printed in portrait and remaining in landscape. Can you please let me know how to do it ?

Thanks in advance.

Code:

public static void setPageSizeAndOrientation(JasperDesign design, ReportConfig config) {        // ReportConfig, PaperInfo.Size, PaperInfo.Orientation are custom classes/enums	PaperInfo.Size size = ReportBuilder.getPaperSize(config);	PaperInfo.Orientation orientation = ReportBuilder.getOrientation(config);	if (size == PaperInfo.Size.LEGAL) {		// Size of Legal is 8.5x14 in. At 72dpi, this translates to		// 8.5*72x14*72 = 612x1008.		if (orientation == PaperInfo.Orientation.LANDSCAPE) {			design.setPageWidth(1008);			design.setPageHeight(612);		} else {			design.setPageWidth(612);			design.setPageHeight(1008);		}	} else if (size == PaperInfo.Size.LETTER) {		// Size of Letter is 8.5x11 in. At 72dpi, this translates to		// 8.5*72x11*72 = 612x792.		if (orientation == PaperInfo.Orientation.LANDSCAPE) {			design.setPageWidth(792);			design.setPageHeight(612);		} else {			design.setPageWidth(612);			design.setPageHeight(792);		}	} else {		// Default is A4.		// Size of A4 is 8.27x11.69 in. At 72dpi, this translates to		// 8.27*72x11.69*72 = 595x842.		if (orientation == PaperInfo.Orientation.LANDSCAPE) {			design.setPageWidth(842);			design.setPageHeight(595);		} else {			design.setPageWidth(595);			design.setPageHeight(842);		}	}}
