minHeightToStartNewPage

[robertsv]

Hello :)

 

I have three groups and I want that:

if the group "Country" is started then there should be enough space to start "City" group and

if the "City" group is started there should be enough space to start "Block of city" group and

if the "Block of city" group is started there should be enough space at least for the first line of detail section.

 

In worst case (if remaining vertical space ir minimal) the generated report should look like this:

 

Some Country

Some City

Some Block of city

first line of detail section

---- end of page ----

 

What values for minHeightToStartNewPage of each group I should set?

Are those minHeightToStartNewPage values listed below correct?

 

Example:

 

Code:

<group  name="Country -" minHeightToStartNewPage="78" >
	<groupExpression><![CDATA[$F{country}]]></groupExpression>
	<groupHeader>
		<band height="22"  isSplitAllowed="true" >

...
	</groupHeader>
	<groupFooter>
		<band height="0"  isSplitAllowed="false" >
...			
	</groupFooter>
</group>
<group  name="City -" minHeightToStartNewPage="56" >
	<groupExpression><![CDATA[$F{city}]]></groupExpression>
	<groupHeader>
		<band height="22"  isSplitAllowed="true" >

...
	</groupHeader>
	<groupFooter>
		<band height="0"  isSplitAllowed="false" >
...			
	</groupFooter>
</group>
<group  name="Block of city -" minHeightToStartNewPage="34" >
	<groupExpression><![CDATA[$F{block}]]></groupExpression>
	<groupHeader>
		<band height="22"  isSplitAllowed="true" >

...
	</groupHeader>
	<groupFooter>
		<band height="0"  isSplitAllowed="false" >
...			
	</groupFooter>
</group>
<detail>
	<band height="12"  isSplitAllowed="true" >
...

Hi --

 

Well, at first glance, your numbers make sense to me.

 

Does it work?

Hi, :)

 

 

no, not really. Of course I can set the value of the minHeightToStartNewPage quite huge, but this is not what I want.

 

 

I set for some group minHeightToStartNewPage="X"!

In which case the header of this group will be printed in the next page?

a)if the remaining vertical space of the current page is < X

b)if the remaining vertical space of the current page - band height of group header is < X

The answer is a) OR the remaining space < the group header declared band height.
