dynamic Detail band height

2005-09-23 06:13

Greetings, I have one Jasper question...

 

Is it possible to change height of detail band dynamically, meaning that height will be determined by Field( $F{} ) I supply with the DataSource, and all detail bands could be of different height...

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

There is nothing special to do in order to achieve this.

If your text fields have isStretchWithOverflow="true",

the band will adapt automatically to their dynaimc height.

 

See the "stretch" sample provided.

 

I hope this helps.

Thank you Teodor for such a quick answer.

 

Your solution solved my problem. It's funny how sometimes solution is in front of us and we can not see it.

 

I just have to say that JasperReports is the best open source tool that I had pleasure to work with and that your book was worth every dollar.
