net.sf.jasperreports.allow.element.overlap propery

[andfedotov]

from JasperReports 3.5.0 Change Log:
- the "net.sf.jasperreports.allow.element.overlap" property can be used globally,  at report or element level to specify whether element overlapping verifications are performed at report compilation time; this is useful when designing reports that are to be exported using grid exporters such as HTML and XLS,  where overlapping elements do not show up;

I made it to work for globall and report level, but how can I use it for element level?

I tried

<reportElement x="75" y="29" width="100" height="20">
      <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.allow.element.overlap" value="false"/>
</reportElement>

with no luck....

 

Thanks!

You can see a detailed explanation on how this property works here.  Quote:

At report element level to specify that the particular element is allowed to overlap or be overlapped by other elements, when the report or global property determines report element overlap verification. The element level property is only effective when set to true; setting the property to false does not make the verifier check for overlaps when the report is not set to be checked for element overlaps.
