Alternate colors in crosstabs

[monesseldeur]

Hi all,

 

this is my first post here.

 

I've been working with iReports and Jasperreports for a while now. Create some nice dynamic reports using java code.

 

But I'm stuck with one problem I obviously can't solve alone: I want to use alternate colors for the rows in a crosstab. I have found this solution on the net:

As you noticed, a crosstab's expression context is different from the report's expression context. The REPORT_COUNT variable does not exist in a crosstab's scope. We are going to create instead crosstab variables holding the row and column indexes.

1. Until then, you can use a crosstab parameter as a row counter. The parameter would be a mutable integer and

2. would get incremented in an expression inside the row header.

3. The row counter value would be used then inside the crosstab cells.

I figured out step 1. But can anyone help me with step 2 and 3.

 

Thanks a lot.

make one Style

choose the default colour
and then add another colour with this  rowcount coding i.e
new Boolean($V{ROW_COUNT}.intValue()%2==1)
Simply apply the stlye to the "Element Properties"

Code:

new Boolean($V{ROW_COUNT}.intValue()%2==1)
