Java – stretch a row to fit the data in jasper reports using iReport

jasper-reportsjavareport

I use iReport 2.0.5 to generate jrxml file and use the same in my java web propject, I have used all the flags to stretch to fit the data, but it doesn't work

The example:

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true" evaluationTime="Now" hyperlinkType="None" hyperlinkTarget="Self" > 
    <reportElement style="dNew" mode="Opaque" x="55" y="0" width="55" height="19" key="value-1" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" positionType="Float" isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true"/> 
    <box></box> 
    <textElement> 
        <font/> 
    </textElement> 
    <textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$F{value1}]]></textFieldExpression> 
</textField>

It should be able to stretch down based on the band.

If it is a TextField you can set the option "Stretch with Overflow" AFAIK straight StaticTexts will not overflow.

I ran into this problem myself. I could not get the detail band to stretch, even though the text field in the band was configured to do so. The problem was with the report's Print Order property, which for some reason had been set to horizontal. When I changed it to vertical, the problem went away.

According to the JasperReports Ultimate Guide,

When filling report templates horizontally, dynamic text fields inside the detail section no longer stretch to their entire text content, because this might cause misalignment on the horizontal axis of subsequent detail sections.

Some bands do not stretch, but if you are talking about the detail band you can do something like this:

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true">
    <reportElement style="base" positionType="Float" 
       isPrintRepeatedValues="false" x="0" y="3" 
       width="380" height="26" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"/>
    <textElement/>
    <textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String">
       <![CDATA[$P{information}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>

That is pasted from auto generated XML so there is a lot of extra stuff, but the isStretchWithOverflow="true" should work for you. This will make the field stretch down as the text fills it up.

I ususally use iReport to build my reports and it works quiet nicely. You can switch to an XML view in there too.
