Horizontal Filling

[thiagot]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to perform horizontal filling with a field?

 

Like a field $F{number} the result will be:

10 20 2 3 20 40 80

 

instead of one in each line

 

I know there is possible to divide the report in columns, but that would be a static way. if my datasource has more entries than report's columns, it would go to the next line, I dont want that

 

Is there a way to do this?

If you have only one field, you could overwrite the getFieldValue() method of the datasource class.

 

something like:

Code:

class MyDataSource extends OtherDataSource {

 public Object getFieldValue(JRField jrField) {
  StringBuffer data = new StringBuffer(""«»);
  while(a_condition) {
   data.append((String)super.getFieldValue(jrField)+ " "«»);
   if(!next()) {
    break;
   }
  }
  return data.toString();
 }

}
