Label design problem

Label design problem
2003-09-12 05:59
I've created a Jasper Design to print address labels.
My design caters for 16 labels per page (2 columns).
My problem is that when I run the application and view my labels in JasperViewer, I only get 15 labels on the page. One gets carried over to the next page, even though there is space for one more label on that page.

Here's my code:
public JasperDesign getJasperDesign() throws JRException{
//JasperDesign
JasperDesign jasperDesign = new JasperDesign();
jasperDesign.setName("AddressLabelDesign");
jasperDesign.setPageWidth(595);
jasperDesign.setPageHeight(864);
jasperDesign.setColumnCount(2);
jasperDesign.setPrintOrder(JasperDesign.PRINT_ORDER_HORIZONTAL);
jasperDesign.setColumnWidth(265);
jasperDesign.setColumnSpacing(0);
jasperDesign.setLeftMargin(40);
jasperDesign.setRightMargin(25);
jasperDesign.setTopMargin(0);
jasperDesign.setBottomMargin(0);

//Fonts
JRDesignReportFont normalFont = new JRDesignReportFont();
normalFont.setName("Normal_Font");
normalFont.setDefault(true);
normalFont.setSize(13);
jasperDesign.addFont(normalFont);

//Fields
JRDesignField field = new JRDesignField();
field = new JRDesignField();
field.setName("firstnames");
field.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
jasperDesign.addField(field);

field = new JRDesignField();
field.setName("surname");
field.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
jasperDesign.addField(field);

field = new JRDesignField();
field.setName("address1");
field.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
jasperDesign.addField(field);

field = new JRDesignField();
field.setName("address2");
field.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
jasperDesign.addField(field);

field = new JRDesignField();
field.setName("city");
field.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
jasperDesign.addField(field);

field = new JRDesignField();
field.setName("postcode");
field.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
jasperDesign.addField(field);

//Detail
JRDesignBand band = new JRDesignBand();
band.setHeight(108);

JRDesignTextField textField = new JRDesignTextField();
textField.setX(10);
textField.setY(10);
textField.setWidth(265);
textField.setHeight(17);
textField.setFont(normalFont);
JRDesignExpression expression = new JRDesignExpression();
expression.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
expression.setText("$F{firstnames} + \" \" + $F{surname}");
textField.setExpression(expression);
band.addElement(textField);

textField = new JRDesignTextField();
textField.setBlankWhenNull(true);
textField.setX(10);
textField.setY(27);
textField.setWidth(265);
textField.setHeight(17);
textField.setFont(normalFont);
expression = new JRDesignExpression();
expression.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
expression.setText("$F{address1}");
textField.setExpression(expression);
band.addElement(textField);

textField = new JRDesignTextField();
textField.setBlankWhenNull(true);
textField.setX(10);
textField.setY(44);
textField.setWidth(265);
textField.setHeight(17);
textField.setFont(normalFont);
expression = new JRDesignExpression();
expression.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
expression.setText("$F{address2}");
textField.setExpression(expression);
band.addElement(textField);

textField = new JRDesignTextField();
textField.setBlankWhenNull(true);
textField.setX(10);
textField.setY(61);
textField.setWidth(265);
textField.setHeight(17);
textField.setFont(normalFont);
expression = new JRDesignExpression();
expression.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
expression.setText("$F{city}");
textField.setExpression(expression);
band.addElement(textField);

textField = new JRDesignTextField();
textField.setBlankWhenNull(true);
textField.setX(10);
textField.setY(78);
textField.setWidth(265);
textField.setHeight(17);
textField.setFont(normalFont);
expression = new JRDesignExpression();
expression.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);
expression.setText("$F{postcode}");
textField.setExpression(expression);
band.addElement(textField);

JRDesignStaticText staticField = new JRDesignStaticText();
staticField.setX(10);
staticField.setY(95);
staticField.setWidth(265);
staticField.setHeight(13);
staticField.setFont(normalFont);
staticField.setText(" ");
band.addElement(staticField);

jasperDesign.setDetail(band);

//Column footer
band = new JRDesignBand();
jasperDesign.setColumnFooter(band);

//Page footer
band = new JRDesignBand();
jasperDesign.setPageFooter(band);

//Summary
band = new JRDesignBand();
jasperDesign.setSummary(band);

return jasperDesign;
}

Teodor,

Any suggestion for this.I too am facing the same problem. Is this a bug ??

In my case out of 20 labels only 11 are printed on page 1 & 9 on page 2, (no of column = 2)

Hi,

If you use the horizontal filler, as Erico does,
then it is about this bug here:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=816508&group_i...

It can be seen even in the "horizontal" sample and
it will be fixed in the next version.
I hope to make availabe the fix on the cvs before the
release.

Thank you,
Teodor
