By: Gunny99 - gunny99 Setting a chart's range?? 2005-10-07 07:00 My report has several charts based upon a dataset of server performance monitors and each chart (e.g.: CPU utilization) has it's own range. I need to be able to set these to a fixed 0-100. Is it possible to manually set the range on a chart? By: bill - rx7haze RE: Setting a chart's range?? 2006-05-25 09:52 I too am trying to adjust the range on the value axis. If you do a search on this topic you'll notice there is never an answer for this question. Someone out there must know how to set this as I've seen plenty of samples that appear to have been modified. I'm assuming it can't be done in the GUI but there must be a way to modify the jrxml file. I don't know much about java programming but if you look at the JFreeChart API it looks possible. By: bill - rx7haze RE: Setting a chart's range?? 2006-05-26 14:17 I've lost track of how many hours I've spent trying to figure this out. It looks like setting the range is possible by using the Customizer class in the chart properties. I've seen it stated that this can open up the entire JFreeChart API to iReport. I found a sample of a customizer class located in the jasper reports download in the location jasperreports-1.2.2demosampleschartsbarchartcustomizer.java. This all makes sense to me but now I can't figure out how to reference the customizer class. I tried setting the classpath to reference the directory...that didn't work. I tried putting it in the lib directory of iReport...that didn't work. Finally I tried putting it in the same directory as the report...that didn't work. This is the only thing holding me back from using iReport as my total reporting solution. Thanks. By: bill - rx7haze RE: Setting a chart's range?? 2006-05-26 15:16 Forgot to post in previous message.

By: Paul - pxp777 How to design and run report that contain 2 p 2005-10-17 01:52 Hi! How to design report template that contains two or more different pages in JasperReport. Those pages can contain plain text (as an example some contract) with a few parameters on any page. Can I use something like iReport? Sincerely, Paul By: mjp - mjplaine RE: How to design and run report that contain 2 p 2006-05-24 01:49 Paul, Did you find a solution to this question? Thanks Marie-Jo By: Martyn - martyn-hi-ss-nl RE: How to design and run report that contain 2006-05-24 13:06 What do you mean by two different pages. If you want 2 different pages you need to design 2 different reports. If you are more specific what you want I can indicate if iReport is something for you.

Delete all versions of Java runtime and JDK, and reinstall Java and iReport. The same report now has a compilation time of 281. This is 10,000 times better.

By: andersons - andersons Barcode Full ASCII character set 2005-12-23 09:30 I am producing 3of9 barcodes that need the full ascii character set.

By: Lars Hammer - thegrudge Time Series Chart -a little help needed 2005-12-05 02:55 Hello I am struggling to get a TimeSeries Chart running in iReport. I have an SQL-query which returns a long list of timestamps in milis (long). Now, the problems is, when i look at the Chart Data Details page in iReport, I'm requested to fill out "Series expression", "Time Period expression" and "Value expression" and I can't figure out what to put in these fields. I've read the devx.com article on ireport/jasperreport and I have successfully created both pie and bar charts, but the TimeSeries chart is killing me. The manual says nothing hereof :-( I've been messing around with Report Series, but I cannot seem to get it quite right. If anyone could provide some hints on creating TimeSeries charts, that would be really helpful. Thanks in advance! /Lars Hammer By: Alan O'Leary - aloleary RE: Time Series Chart -a little help needed 2006-04-11 04:33 Here here... cannot find any help on this either... a little frustrated... one example of this would help a lot of people !! (including those of us who have paid for the manual !) By: MaGaM - maganz RE: Time Series Chart -a little help needed 2006-04-17 03:34 Hello fellow iReport users. Last week I started using the Time Series Charts in iReport. At first I was baffled at how to get data into these charts. But after playing around for a while I finally got to it. I'm sorry, I don't have the time to write a detailed description of my actions as to get these charts 'running'. I actually figured it out by looking at the time series chart examples which are in the jasperreports 1.2.0 package, if my memory is correct. Hope this will be of help to both of you! Bye, Mario

By: MussMan - mussman variable field in a barcode? 2005-12-28 10:32 I'm relatively new to iReport and Jasper. I'm creating a document that needs to convert an integer field to a barcode and print out on the report. When I design the report without the barcode, everything works just fine. But I can't figure out how to add the barcode in a way that will let me use a variable field for the barcode. It will put a fixed numerical value in the barcode, but that doesn't do me any good. Is it possible to use a field to generate the barcode in iReport? Or will I have to code it in XML? Thanks. By: Hendry - hendrykho RE: variable field in a barcode? 2006-04-12 04:31 Hi, Could you tell me what is application identifier for?

By: antobuccia - antobuccia show problem in pdf 2005-07-29 06:04 why the pdf preview in IReport does work ok, but when I use the same report and show it in pdf in another server, pdf cut some fields? It depends on the system set-up or exists some parameters in IReport to use for avoid these kind of probles? thank-u By: -JE- - julegner RE: show problem in pdf 2006-04-03 08:26 We have the same problem, and i think it happens when there is no arial font on the server. Then the server uses the font given as pdf-font, which can be bigger, if so, the text is sometimes to big for the textfield. So try and put arial on the server.

By: Diogo Oliveira - diogosales RE: How to pass a collection of Java object. 2006-04-03 04:32 Hi I have exacly the same issue so I'll post it here. And yes, as for me, I'm passing a java.util.Collection from my own CustomDataSource. Inside the collection I have a small number of object of a custom type I developed. This object has something like a string and two integer fields. How can I generate a variable-size list of all the objects in my collection? Thanks. By: Diogo Oliveira - diogosales RE: How to pass a collection of Java object. 2006-04-03 06:18 Also I have a getter for it (it's in a java bean) but it's not static and the collection varies with a given argument (actually, a bean attrribute). So this is impossible using bean data source, right?

By: Alceu Rodrigues de Freitas Jr. - glasswalk3r using variables to calculate subtotals 2005-05-30 08:27 Hello, I have a report that should show data like the example below: Group 1 ---- Amount Unit value Total Value ------------------------------- 3 10 30 4 10 40 Subtotal: 70 Group 2 Amount Unit value Total Value ------------------------------- 4 10 40 5 10 50 Subtotal: 90 The problem is that I inserted all the data in the "Detail" group, including the "Subtotal" line. I used a variable to calculate the subtotal: Variable name: subtotal Reset Type: Report Calculation Type: Sum Variable Expression: $F{total_value} Initial Value Expression: new Double(0) The variable is not being "reseted" to zero as I would like. I tried to use another types of "Reset Type" but it is not working. Everytime I execute the report, I get the first "Subtotal" ok, but the next one will be the previous value plus the next values. The final result is this: Group 1 ---- Amount Unit value Total Value ------------------------------- 3 10 30 4 10 40 Subtotal: 70 Group 2 ---- Amount Unit value Total Value ------------------------------- 4 10 40 5 10 50 Subtotal: 160 There is any way to implement that in iReport? How should I do it?
