Image displayed based on boolean value returned by query

[advait75]

Hi,

I am a complete newbie. I wanted to know if in iReports it is possible to do something like, if a query returns a certain value(boolean) I can show one image and if another boolean value is returned, I can show another image.

E.g. If the query returns Y, a green arrow is shown and if the query returns N, a red arrow is shown

If yes, can someone point me to a tutorial or give me some pointers?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You can use the field "Image Expression", when you insert an image object. Using that field, you can insert Java code.

You could do something like this:

($P{yourReadParameter} ? "green.jpg" : "red.jpeg")

or

($P{yourReadParameter}.equalsIgnoreCase("y") ? "green.jpeg" : "red.jpeg")

(Using that way, the expression class remains java.lang.String)
