subreport report properties

[dtrobert]

hi, I'm a Jasper newby

I'm trying to create a graphical report which includes several subreports. The main template report properties are set for Letter portrait with no margins. The first subreport contains two frames designed to take up half of the width side by side in the report. I'm having all sorts of formatting problems where some frames (graphs) don't display at all in html, but do in pdf--format still messed up.

 

My question is, what's the rule for the report properties of subreports. Should the dimensions be the same as the top level template or just the absolute size it is expected to take.
