Line-Element in 0.4.6

2003-04-14 22:01

Hi,

 

after an upgrade from 0.4.4 to 0.4.6 the line-element has changed the behavior and broken all my reports.

Here is an explanation:

 

<band height="100">

<!-- A rectangle for comparison -->

<rectangle>

<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100"/>

</rectangle>

 

<!-- In 0.4.6 this line doesn't reach the right of the rectangle anymore,

but increasing the width to 101 is possible -->

<line>

<reportElement x="0" y="50" width="100" height="0"/>

</line>

 

<!-- In 0.4.6 this line doesn't reach the bottom of the rectangle anymore,

and increasing the height to 101 is not allowed -->

<line>

<reportElement x="50" y="0" width="0" height="100"/>

</line>

 

<!-- In 0.4.6 a line at the bottom of an band isn't allowed anymore -->

<line>

<reportElement x="0" y="100" width="100" height="0"/>

</line>

</band>

 

 

Thanks, Heinz

Hi,

 

Yes, there are some changes concerning the line

dimensions.

The vertical and horizontal lines do not have

witdth="0" and height="0" respectively.

They have width="1" and height="1" even if you set

these properties to zero.

 

The initial idea was inconsistent with the actual

line behavior during report filling.

In fact, the vertical and horizontal lines are always

1 pixel wide.

 

With this new convention, the lines are now drawn

one pixel shorter.

I think the problem is that I did not reviewed all

the implications.

I'll settle this once and for all in the future version.

 

Sorry for eny inconvenience.

 

Thank you,

Teodor
