Resctangle size

2004-01-15 12:20

Hello all,

 

Up to now I was using version 0.4.4. But since I created a report that needs the new isSplitAllowed attribute in the band tag I need to upgrade.

However this causes another problem.

I seems that since version 0.5 the rectangles are drawn smaller than before (I think 1 pt smaller in each direction). This is very inconvenient, as this would mean that I have to change all of my reports before upgrading to the new version.

 

Is there a workaround?

 

Thanks in advance,

Axel Hallez

Hi,

 

This change was introduced in 0.4.5 or the 0.4.6 version.

It was a tough decision but unavoidable since the

previous behavior was inconsistent.

 

Sorry for any inconvenience.

For table like effect I use Lines instead of rectangles. Draw a line at the bottom of the detail section and set it s position type to FixRelativeToBottom, now draw lines between fields in details section and set its stretch type to RelativeToBandHeight. While there will be a gap between vertical and horizontal lines but it is visible only on zooming at 100% zoom it is not visible.

 

This might be a painful solution to you, but it works.

Thanks Teodor,

 

I have tried to change on report to see if I can get the same look, but I haven't been succesfull yet.

 

I my reports I'm trying to create a table like effect by drawing rectangle one besides of the other. The height of the rectangle is the same as the band height. I use a thin pen for the rectangles.

 

The first thing I tried is to increase the height and the width of each rectangle with one. As result the rectangles doen't print since they are heigher than the band. However if I increase the height of the band I have the same problem as before.

 

Then I tried to change the pen size to 1Point, but the result was not satisfying (there is still a gap between the borders of the rectangles).

 

Do you have a suggestion about how to change the rectangles in order to have the same result as before?

 

Thank you very much,

Hi,

 

It would be helpful if you could send me the XML

to see your layout.

 

But I think the solution is to place the rectangles

at Y=-1. This is not a problem for the engine.

I hope this helps.
