page width and height units

2003-04-01 06:27

I'm really sory if this is a naive question, but I could not find any documentation on this.

 

I need to print reports and I'm not able to fit the report in the page. I'm not sure about the units used. I know the default values are width 595 and height 842, but i don't know in what units are this magnitudes. Can someone help me on this or tell me what numbers should I use for Letter, Legal and A4 ??

TIA

This numbers are the numbers of pixels. i.e:

 

A3: 842x1190

A4: 595x842

A5: 421x595

A6: 297x421

 

Letter: 612x792

Legal: 612x1008

 

try with this numbers. Good luck.

Hi,

 

JasperReports uses the default Java resolution

of 72 dots / inch.

 

Thank you,

Teodor

Are this numbers mandatory when compiled with the report or can I pass them as parameters? If I want the same report in Letter and A4 should I compile 2 reports?

 

Sory if the question is stupid.

 

TIA
