Hi again, I have a jrxml file, opened in iReport 2.0.4. I can see the padding and the old syntax for boxes. When I run it through iReport, a loader is called. This loader is part of jasper report 2.0.4 API. It produces a new jrxml file, compliant with the new grammar (<pen> instead of "border" attributes). But the padding information seems to be lost. Hereunder you will find the two jrxml codes. iReport generated file: Code:<box topBorder="None" topBorderColor="#000000" leftBorder="Thin" leftBorderColor="#000000" leftPadding="9" rightBorder="None" rightBorderColor="#000000" bottomBorder="None" bottomBorderColor="#000000"/> You can see the leftPadding attribute. jasper report loader generated file: Code:[code]<box> <topPen lineWidth="0.0" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#000000"/> <leftPen lineWidth="0.5" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#000000"/> <bottomPen lineWidth="0.0" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#000000"/> <rightPen lineWidth="0.0" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#000000"/> </box> No more padding attribute :pinch: Post edited by: fbaronnet, at: 2008/02/28 10:49
