Auto reduce font size to fit text field

Any update? It is pretty desirable feature. Some other products like "List & Label" have this feature.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10738431/jasperreports-change-font-size-by-param-value

 

can this help?

Unfortunately at the moment it is the only solution, but it is so dirty.

How can you calculate the style according to the length of the string? f.e. compare two strings with length 5:

WWWWW

lllll

In rendered report this two strings in the same field will have totally different length.

F.e. there is such project as List&Label and it has in textfield parameter fit: shrink, break, cut...

Hi,If we are to implement such feature, there are some questions that need to be answered first.We are talking here about decreasing the font size so that the full text fits in the design time element size.But since the text value could be styled text and different chunks of text have different font size, I guess the issue is about decreasing the font size for all chunks using a ratio.So it is not about decreasing font size point by point, but rather decrease it with a ratio, especially considering that nowadays font size is no longer only integer values.This is a little bit tricky because I assume not all export formats support the same precision when it comes to font size, so in some cases we would need to truncate or round up non integer font size values, resulting in the original styled text chunks becoming disproportionate with each other.Thanks,Teodor

I agree. I would also like to see a feature for "fit", which scales it down OR up to use the available field space. Not sure it needs to super complicated, I'd personally be happy it it went integer value at a time to each font size iteratively until it fill the area. (I don't have mixed/styled text anyway)

I see that Active Report can be do it.Please refer link : https://www.grapecity.com/blogs/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-resize-fonts-to-fit-text-within-a-controlSo why Jasper report not add this feature ?

Hi,I think we can do something about it, but I suggest it always works by decreasing the font size. In cases people want the font size to grow so that text fits exactly, it is enough to start with a larger font size for the text field and fitting would work again by decreasing font size automatically. This way we don't have to introduce a special setting to differentiate between situations where increasing the font size is desirable or not.Thanks,Teodor

Teodor - I think that would work for my needs. The next question is....when do you think this might be possible to see this feature being completed?

Hi,This is implemented in master branch and will be part of the next release.The isStretchWithOverflow boolean attribute of text fields was deprecated and replaced with the enum attribute called textAdjust, with the following possible values: CutText, ScaleFont and StretchHeight.I hope this helps.Teodor
