Dose jasper able to eliminate white space???

2004-06-23 06:54

I asked many time,I just want to be sure that if Japer is not able to do that we should think about something else,because in my report there are lots of places which if there is no data I want to remove white space and shift the other data up,which is a noraml action in all reports.

 

Plaese let me know,If anybody has any idea about that.

 

Thanks,

exporter.setParameter(JRHtmlExporterParameter.IS_REMOVE_EMPTY_SPACE_BETWEEN_ROWS, Boolean.TRUE);

TRY THIS

This solution is only appropriate when exporting to HTML. THis does not actually answer the problem posted.

 

JasperReports does have an attribute that handle the act of collapsing whitespace (I don't remember the attribute name). The problem is that there cannot be anything else in the horizontal space occupied by the element that should collapse. If there is, the row won't collapse.

 

A test to show this would be to have a simple report that had stacked text fields. In one of the text fields supply a blank (make the the attribute is set properly) When you run the report the text field that was blank will collapse. If you can successfully make this report, you will prove that Jasper can handle this need. You will just need to adjust your own report design.
