Carriage Return in Legend?

[dreis]

I'm using iReport 3.7.4

Is there an easy way to make each item in a bar chart legend show up on a separate line?  Right now some of the short text strings end up on the same line and it's harder to read.   I tried adding "\n" to the end of the Series Expression, but that just made the whole legend text disappear.

Thanks in advance.

I think there is no way to introduce carriage return in iReport. 2 things are possible to handle this issue :

1) reduce the size of your text (when it is sufficiently reduced, iReport does automatically carriage return)

2) add lines and display specific number of characters per line.

 

Hope it's been helpful.

Hi there, i saw this post with searching for the answer for the same question. I know this may be aswered by others but to help others who are still looking for the answer. I found out how.

 

Using your notepad. create the label you want(with carriage return) then copy/paste it to your report.
