iReport - features

[coolguy]

Can somebody please clarify whether the following features are supported in iReport:-

sorting based on groups and detail records

automatic styles (default style for tables, text fields etc..)

hierarchical group

display vector images (eg SVG format)

Page Break after N records

[ooober]

Template Exporter provide sorting of detail record. But it is not free, its cost $199.

In jasperreport new version 3.5.x we can define a generic style for a report and apply to report.

Sorry i cannot understand what do mean by hierarchical group, i think through jasper analysis you can perform drill down structure.

Normal png,jpg,and gif can be shown on report. Not tested SVG format.

Yes page break could be done after N record

I believe at present grouping and sorting is built-in. I am using SQL to achieve ORDERing and iReport is handling grouping.

Automatic styling is supported. If you create your own you can apply them to anything or use one of the many builtin report/table styles.

Hierarchical Grouping I also do not understand but I suspect it is handled by your first question.

Regarding your SVG question, there is a non-obvious solution if you are still attempting to do this.

I updated an existing thread with the solution: http://jasperforge.org/plugins/espforum/view.php?group_id=83&forumid=101&topicid=12298

However I am including the sample code here as well. Good luck!
