Hi. For reasons too complicated to go into, I have to deploy a new report onto an existing JasperReports Server 4.5.0 installation. It cannot be upgraded. I figured that it would be easiest to use iReport 4.5.0 to ensure compatibility with the Server. Am I mistaken? Would it be better to use a newer version, or to switch to Jaspersoft Studio, or something else? The report involves a crosstab with many columns. In order to get them all to fit on one standard landscape page, I need to change the rotation of the column headers to vertical. The data inside the cells themselves is very short. I couldn't find an option in iReport to change the rotation of the text in the header, so I changed the XML from: <crosstabColumnHeader> <cellContents backcolor="#F0F8FF" mode="Opaque"> <box> <pen lineWidth="0.5" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#000000"/> </box> <textField> <reportElement style="Crosstab Data Text" x="0" y="0" width="50" height="30"/> <textElement/> <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{ACTION_DESC}]]></textFieldExpression> </textField> </cellContents> </crosstabColumnHeader> To: <crosstabColumnHeader> <cellContents backcolor="#F0F8FF" mode="Opaque"> <box> <pen lineWidth="0.5" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#000000"/> </box> <textField> <reportElement style="Crosstab Data Text" x="0" y="0" width="50" height="30"/> <textElement rotation="Left"/> <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{ACTION_DESC}]]></textFieldExpression> </textField> </cellContents> </crosstabColumnHeader> It doesn't seem to have any effect on the preview, whether I'm previewing to HTML or PDF.
