Horizontal Stretching of a dynamic text box..

Posted on September 8, 2009 at 12:24am

Hi all,

I'm trying to print a very long text inside a text box, with Horizontal Stretching. I have already tried the following options but those options only address the Vertical Stretching.

  1. Relative to band height

  2. Relative to tallest object

  3. Stretch with overflow

Can someone please tell me how to get Horizontal Stretching into action.

[ I'm using iReports 2.0.4 with Java 1.6.0_16. ]

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Asela.

Jasper Report does not support horizontal stretching. Only vertical as you've found out.

One way to accomplish what you are tring to do is to complie you report at run time. That way you can manually build the text box and figure out how large to make it horizontally.

Hello, has this changed in version 3.5.3 or any of the later versions?
