Have defaults for the x-coordinate

2004-03-24 04:18

Sometimes I would like to have as a possible default behavior of Jasper the following: I like to define only the width and the order of the header fields in the xml file. Jasper should then calculate the x coordinates of the header field and use the same values (width and x-coordinate) for the data fields in the detail band.

 

Is there something I was missing or is this a kind of a feature request?

 

regards Jan

Hi,

 

I don't see this being added to the library soon.

It is more like a wizard that could be introduced

in one of the GUI tools available.

 

If not, I think that is the responsability of the

parent application that uses JasperReports to add

such a custom layer.

 

Thank you,

Teodor

I would like that too. My workaround was to either get the user to specify the width in percentages, or to estimate the width based on the font size.
