The element moves relative to the size of the surrounding elements. The element maintains its position relative to the top of the band. The element maintains its position relative to the bottom of the band. Specifies the element stretch behavior relative to its element group siblings or element container stretch. The element won't stretch vertically beyond its natural stretch height, when the container stretches to display other elements. Deprecated. Replaced by ElementGroupHeight value. Deprecated. Replaced by ContainerHeight value. The element will stretch to accommodate the overall natural growth of its group, but also taking into account the shifting Y position of the element within its group. See the elementGroup element, to see how to group elements. The element will stretch to accommodate the overall natural growth of its group, without taking into account the shifting Y position of the element within its group. See the elementGroup element, to see how to group elements. The element will stretch to fit the container height, while taking into account its new Y position. This results in the element preserving its distance to the container's bottom edge. The element will stretch to fit the container height, but without taking into account its new Y position. This might results in the element being shifted up (due to collapsing elements above) or down (due to stretching elements above that push it downards) relative to the container bottom edge. In case the element its already pushed downwards, the additional stretch imposed by the container might actually throw it beyond the container's bottom edge, in which case the element will not render at all. This flag allows suppressing the repeating values for the dynamic elements such as text fields and image fields and to fully customize the behavior of the static elements like rectangles, lines, ellipses and static texts. Dynamic elements will print even if their values repeat. Static elements will appear every time the band that contains them is started. Suppresses the repeated values for the dynamic elements.

Image will adapt to the specified object width or height keeping its original shape. A scale image type that instructs the engine to stretch the image height to fit the actual height of the image.

Several restrictions apply to the image stretching mechanism:

It only works when the image renderer implements JRRenderable.getDimension().
If the actual image width exceeds the declared image element width, the image is proportionally stretched to fit the declared width.
Images with delayed evaluation (see the evaluationTime attribute) do not stretch and is proportionally shrunk to fit the declared height/width.
An image overflows (to the next page/column) only once, after this the image gets rendered on the available space by proportionally shrinking its size.

A scale image type that stretches the images height in the same way as RealHeight, and in addition it changes the image width to the actual with of the image. This can be useful when, for instance, a border has to be drawn around the image, respecting its actual size. Type of rotation for the image object. Image is not rotated. Image is rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. Image is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Image is rotated 180 degrees. Horizontal image alignment. Vertical image alignment.

The image is loaded during the report filling process and stored in the resulting document. Controls the behavior of the engine in case the image is not available. An exception is raised when loading the image. The exception is ignored and the image displays as blank. The exception is ignored and an image replacement icon is displayed. The image to be printed is supplied by the associated expression. This expression can be evaluated at a specified moment. This could be useful, for example, when we want to have on the first page a chart that will be generated only after fetching all the data source rows.

Defines generic plot options for charts Background color of the chart Orientation of the chart Alpha (transparency) parameter for the background. Alpha (transparency) parameter for the foreground. Deprecated. Replaced by attribute labelRotation of tag categoryAxisFormat. Degrees to rotate the text labels for the x axis of the chart. Positive values rotate the text clockwise and negative values rotate it counterclockwise. This attribute has no effect on charts where the x axis is either numeric or a date. Defines the color to use for a series in the report. If only one seriesColor is specified it becomes the color of the first series. If more than one seriesColor is specified the chart will cycle through the supplied colors. Meter and Thermometer charts do not have series and will ignore any seriesColor settings.

When used in a chart that part of a multi-axis chart series color is treated a bit differently. The default color series to cycle through is defined in the plot of the multi axis chart, and the color series for the nested charts define series colors for that chart only. This is useful when a multiple axis chart contains several line charts, each with one series. By default every line will be the first in its plot and will have the first color defined in the multi axis plot, so every line will be the same color. To solve this you can set a seriesColor for each nested chart to override the default colors. The relative order of this color. All seriesColors are sorted by the value of this attribute, and appear in that order when coloring the series.

Defines a meter chart. A meter chart plots a single value on a dial. In addition to the value being plotted multiple ranges can be specified to help interpret the value. Defines a dataset that contains a single value. Plot options for a meterChart. Defines the shape of the meter. The final appearance is determined by the combination of this attribute and the angle attribute. This attribute only matters when the meter is using an angle over 180 degrees.

When a meter is over 180 degrees wide the space between the start and end of the meter can be filled in several different ways. The best way to visualize this is to think of a twelve hour clock. If the angle of the meter is 240 degrees the meter will start at 8, sweep up past 12 and down to 4. This attribute specifies how to fill the area between 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock.

A straight line is drawn between the start point and the end point, and the area bounded by the meter and this line is shaded with the background color. The unused portion of the circle that describes the meter is shaded with the background color. The unused portion of the circle that describes the meter is not shaded at all. The unused portion of the circle that describes the meter is shaded with the background color and handled with specific dial objects. The extent of the meter in degrees. Use 180 for a semicircle. An optional string that describes the unit that the meter is displaying. This string will be appended to the value. The amount of space between values to mark as "ticks" on the face of the meter. If the meter has a data range of 0-100 and the tick interval is 20, there will be 4 ticks at 20, 40, 60 and 80. The color of meter. If meterIntervals are defined they may mask this color. The color used to draw the needle in the meter. The color of the meter ticks, if any. The number of major ticks on the meter scale. Controls how the single data value is displayed in a meterChart or thermometerChart. The color to use when displaying the value. The formatting mask to use to display the value. This mask must follow the rules specified for a java.text.DecimalFormat pattern.

This attribute is currently ignored for a meterChart. Defines a numeric range, such as the bounds of chart or a section of a chart. Describes a range of a meterChart to highlight. A typical use is to divide a meter up into sections such as "normal", "warning" and "critical" and color code them. The name of this region. The name will appear in the meter's legend if the legend is being displayed. The color used to shade the region in the meter. If not set the region will have no visual indicator. The alpha (transparency) of the shading for the region. The values range from 0.0 (completely transparent) to 1.0 (completely opaque). Defines a thermometer chart. A thermometer chart plots a single value on a thermometer. In addition to the value being plotted three ranges can be specified to help interpret the value. Plot options for a thermometerChart. Defines where to display the textual representation of the value being displayed, relative to the thermometer outline. The textual value is not displayed. The text value is displayed to the left of the thermometer outline. The text value is displayed to the right of the thermometer outline. The text value is displayed in the bulb at the bottom of the thermometer. Deprecated. No longer used. Defines whether or not lines are drawn showing values on the thermometer. Value lines are drawn. Value lines are not drawn. The color used to fill the thermometer.

If the value of the thermometer falls in one of the defined ranges the color specified in that range will be used instead of this color. Defines the low range in a thermometerChart. Defines the medium range in a thermometerChart. Defines the high range in a thermometerChart. Definition of chart with multiple range axis, all sharing a common domain axis. The domain is determined by the dataset of each nested report, and they must all use the same type of dataset. The time period datasets (highLowDataset, candlestickDataset and timeSeriesDataset) are considered the same and can be mixed.

Each nested chart has its own range, so you can combine charts with significantly different scales. Each chart will have its own axis showing its range, and it is highly recommended to color the data series and the axis to match.

The plot options of the nested reports are ignored - the plot is configured via the multiAxisPlot. The only exception to this is any seriesColors specified in the plot of a nested report, which will be used to color a specific series in that report. In this case the seriesOrder in the seriesColor is an absolute specification of a series to color, not a relative ordering. Plot options for a multiAxisChart. The set plot options will be shared by all the charts inside this plot, and the nested charts are specified via the axis tags. All nested charts must share the same type of domain axis - a category, a numeric (xy) or a time based axis. Describes a range axis to use in a multiAxisChart. Each axis has its own range indicator and a data plot. Indicates where relative to the chart to display the range axis for this chart Display the axis to the left (for charts with a Vertical orientation) or top (for charts with a Horizontal orientation.) Display the axis to the right (for charts with a Vertical orientation) or bottom (for charts with a Horizontal orientation.) Crosstab definition.

To be noted that the crosstab will stretch downwards to fit the data but it will not exceed its report element width. Flag that indicates whether the column headers will be reprinted after a page break. The column headers will be reprinted after a page break. The column headers will be printed only on the page where the crosstab starts. Flag that indicates whether the row headers will be reprinted after a crosstab column break. The row headers will be reprinted after a crosstab column break. The column headers will be printed for all rows only for the first set of columns and not after a column break. Offset used when a column break occurs and the filling is continued on the same page.

When the crosstab columns do not fit the width, the crosstab breaks the columns and prints the ones that don't fit after printing the first set of columns for all rows. This attribute is the offset to be used when continuing the printing after a column break. The crosstab run direction.

Crosstabs can either be filled from left to right (the default) or from right to left (mainly for reports in RTL languages).

When a crosstab is filled from right to left, the crosstab contents will start from the right extremity of the crosstab element area and grow towards the left. Left to right run direction. Right to left run direction. This attribute determines whether the crosstab will break at the width set for the crosstab element, or whether the crosstab is to expand over this width (and over the page width as well).

If this attribute is set to true, the crosstab will expand towards the right (or towards the left if the crosstab direction is RTL) as long as it needs to. This would result in crosstab cells being rendered over the page boundary; such elements will be exported by certain grid-based exporters such as the HTML or XLS ones, but will not be visible in export formats that observe the page width, such as the PDF exporter.

The default value of this flag is given by the net.sf.jasperreports.crosstab.ignore.width property.

The position of the crosstab within its element box.

By default LTR crosstabs are positions at the left of the element box, and RTL crosstabs at the right of the box. The crosstab is positioned at the left of the element box. The crosstab is positioned at the right of the element box. The crosstab is centered withing the element box. Crosstab parameter definition and value. Values from the report can only be accessed inside crosstab elements by passing them as parameters. Name of the parameter. Class of the parameter values. Crosstab parameter value expression. Crosstab dataset definition. Flag that indicates whether the crosstab data is already sorted according to the row bucket expressions and group bucket expressions (in this order).

The crosstab calculation engine can optimize the calculations if the data is sorted by the row groups and column groups. For example, if there are two row groups R1 and R2 (subgroup of R1) and three column groups C1, C2 and C3 the data should be sorted by R1, R2, C1, C2, C3. The calculation engine will assume that the data is presorted. If the data is not presorted, the outcome is undefined. The crosstab dataset data is not presorted. Crosstab cell that will be rendered at the upper-left corner of the crosstab.

The cell size will be calculated based on the row/column header cell widths/heights. Crosstab row group definition.

Each group in the crosstab has a variable that can be used inside the group header or inside the crosstab cells as the current group value. The variable has the same name as the group and the same type as the bucket expression of the group. Group name. The width of the row group header. The position of the total row for this group.

A group can have a total row summing the values for all the entries in the group. E.g. if there is a Year group having Month as a subgroup, the total row for the Year group would sum the values for all the years and the total row for the Month group would sum the values for all the months of an year. The total row will be displayed before the group rows. The total row will be displayed after the group rows. The total row will not be displayed. The position of the header contents on header span.

The row group headers stretch vertically by spanning when there are multiple sub group entries. This attribute determines the way the header contents will be adjusted to the new height. The contents will be rendered at the top of the header The contents will be rendered on the center of the header The contents will be rendered at the bottom of the header The contents will be proportionally stretched to the new header height Determines whether the header cell of this group spans across all rows in the group, or whether the header cell repeats for each sub group entry.

If the header cell is set to repeat, the sub group should not have a total row.

By default the header cell spans across all rows that are part of the group.

Crosstab row header definition.

The size of the row header cell is computed based on the following rules:

the width of the header is given by the width attribute of rowGroup
the height of the last row group header is given by the height of the base cell
the height of a non-last row group header is the sum of the next group header's height and the next group total header's height (0 if the next group doesn't have a total header)

Crosstab total row header definition.

The size of a row group total header is computed based on the following rules:

the width is the sum the widths of this and subsequent row groups
the height is the height of the base cell for this total row

The total row is only printed if the totalPosition attribute of the group is different than None. Crosstab column group definition.

Each group in the crosstab has a variable that can be used inside the group header or inside the crosstab cells as the current group value. The variable has the same name as the group and the same type as the bucket expression of the group. Group name. The height of the column group header. The position of the total column for this group.

A group can have a total column summing the values for all the entries in the group. E.g. if there is a Year group having Month as a subgroup, the total column for the Year group would sum the values for all the years and the total column for the Month group would sum the values for all the months of an year. The total column will be displayed before the group column. The total column will be displayed after the group column. The total column will not be displayed. The position of the header contents on header span.

The column group headers stretch horizontally by spanning when there are multiple sub group entries. This attribute determines the way the header contents will be adjusted to the new width. The contents will be rendered on the left side of the header The contents will be rendered on the center of the header The contents will be rendered on the right side of the header The contents will be proportionally stretched to the new header width Determines whether the header cell of this group spans across all columns in the group, or whether the header cell repeats for each sub group entry.

If the header cell is set to repeat, the sub group should not have a total column.

By default the header cell spans across all columns that are part of the group.

Crosstab column header definition.

The size of the column header cell is computed based on the following rules:

the height of the header is given by the height attribute of columnGroup
the width of the last column group header is given by the width of the base cell
the width of a non-last column group header is the sum of the next group header's width and the next group total header's width (0 if the next group doesn't have a total header)

Crosstab total column header definition.

The size of a column group total header is computed based on the following rules:

the height is the sum the heights of this and subsequent column groups
the width is the width of the base cell for this total column

The total column is only printed if the totalPosition attribute of the group is different than None. Per column group cell that will be rendered at the left of the corresponding row of column headers, potentially overlapping the crosstab header cell.

The width of the cell is the total width of row group headers, and the height is the height of the corresponding column header. Crosstab group bucketing information. Class of the bucket values. The bucket order type. The buckets will be sorted in ascending order by using the specified comparator or by the natural order if no comparator specified. The buckets will be sorted in descending order by using the specified comparator or by the natural order if no comparator specified. The buckets will preserve the order in which the data is fed to the crosstab. Crosstab group bucketing expression. Expression that provides order by values for group buckets. If not set, the bucket values as returned by bucketExpression are used to order the buckets.

The expression is evaluated in the context of the crosstab group and can reference measure variables, which evaluate to group totals.

Crosstab group bucket comparator expression.

The result of this expression is used to sort the buckets, in ascending or descending order. If the bucket has an order by expression, the comparator will be used to compare values as produced by that expression. If no comparator expression is specified, the natural order will be used.

Crosstab measure definition.

A measure is a value accumulated by the crosstab calculation engine and displayed in the crosstab data cells.

Each measure in the crosstab has a variable that can be used inside the data cells as the current measure value. The variable has the same name and type as the measure.

Variables representing totals at different levels are also available. The names of these variables are:

<Measure>_<Row/Column Group>_ALL - the total for the column/row group
<Measure>_<Row Group>_<Column Group>_ALL - the combined total for the column and row groups

For instance, if one defines "Year" and "Month" column groups, a "City" row group and a "Sales" measure, then:

Sales_Month_ALL will hold the total for all months (i.e. for one year)
Sales_City_Month_ALL will hold the total for all months (one year) and all cities
Sales_City_Year_ALL will hold the grand total

Measure name. The measure values class. The calculation type to be performed on the measure values. The name of a class that implements the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRIncrementerFactory interface to use when creating the incrementer instance for this measure. Incrementers are objects that implement the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRIncrementer interface and handle the incremental calculation performed on the measure's current value with every entry in the crosstab dataset. The percentage calculation type performed on this measure.

If percentage calculation is required, the value class should be one of the built-in supported percentage types or the percentage calculator class should be specified. The classes with built-in support are java.lang.Float, java.lang.Double, java.lang.Byte, java.lang.Short, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Long, java.math.BigDecimal and java.math.BigInteger. The value will not be calculated as a percentage The value will be calculated as percentage of the grand total value The percentage calcualtor class name.

The class should implement the net.sf.jasperreports.crosstabs.fill.JRPercentageCalculator interface. No calculations are performed. The measure stores the number of the not null values. The measure stores the number of distinct not null values. The measure stores the sum of the not null values. Numeric measures only. The measure stores the average of the not null values. Numeric measures only. The measure stores the lowest value. The measure stores the highest value. The measure stores the standard deviation of the not null values. Numeric measures only. The measure stores the variance of the not null values. Numeric measures only. The measure stores the first value encountered and ignores subsequent values. Crosstab measure expression. Crosstab data cell definition.

A crosstab can have multiple data cells for row/groups totals. Attributes rowTotalGroup and columnTotalGroup are used to specify that the cell corresponds to a total row/column.

E.g. if the crosstab has Country and City (subgroup of Country) row groups and Year and Month column groups, one can specify the following cells:

no rowTotalGroup and columnTotalGroup - the crosstab base cell (total for a city and a year)
columnTotalGroup="Month" - total for a city and a year
columnTotalGroup="Year" - total for a city and all years
rowTotalGroup="City" - total for all cities of a country and a month
rowTotalGroup="City" columnTotalGroup="Month" - total for all cities of a country and a year
rowTotalGroup="City" columnTotalGroup="Year" - total for all cities of a country and all years
rowTotalGroup="Country" - total for all countries and a month
rowTotalGroup="Country" columnTotalGroup="Month" - total for all countries and a year
rowTotalGroup="Country" columnTotalGroup="Year" - grand total

If the data cell for a total row/column is not specified, the cell will be inherited from lower level cells, if possible. For example, if the "total for all countries and a year" cell is not specified, the "total for a country and a year" or "total for a city and a year" cell will be used (in this order).

The data cell sizes are calculated from the base data cell sizes, i.e. the height of all data cells for a row will be the height of the base cell of that row. The base cell sizes are also inherited, e.g. if the height of a total row is not specified the height of the base row will be used. Crosstab cell width.

The width should be specified only for the base cell of a column (the one with no rowTotalGroup). Crosstab cell height.

The height should be specified only for the base cell of a row (the one with no columnTotalGroup). If this cell corresponds to a total row, this attribute should specify the name of the corresponding row group. The attribute should not be specified if the cell corresponds to a base (not total) row. If this cell corresponds to a total column, this attribute should specify the name of the corresponding column group. The attribute should not be specified if the cell corresponds to a base (not total) column. Crosstab header or data cell contents.

There are some restrictions/rules regarding crosstab cells:

Subreports, crosstabs and charts are not allowed.
Delayed evaluation for text fields and images is not allowed.
Cells cannot split on multiple pages.

Crosstab cell background color.

The cell is filled with the background color only if the cell has opaque mode. Crosstab cell transparency mode. Name of the report level style to use (see style element).

The style is only used for cell background and borders and is not inherited by elements inside the cell. Crosstab cell that will be rendered when no data was fed to the crosstab.

If this cell is not specified for a crosstab, nothing will be rendered for an empty crosstab.

The cell size is the same as the crosstab element size. A frame is a report element that contains sub elements. It has a backgroud, a border and it stretches to accommodate its content.

For the Graphics2D and PDF exporters, a frame is equivalent to a rectangle placed behind a group of elements. The HTML exporter creates sub-tables for frames and the XLS exporter includes the frame sub elements into the grid.

For elements inside a frame, the coordinates, positionType and stretchType properties and relative to the frame instead of the band. Specifies the way the frame border is to be drawn when the frame element splits. When the frame splits, the bottom border of the first fragment and the top border of the second fragment are not drawn. When the frame splits, both fragments are drawn will borders and paddings on all sides. Defines a gantt chart Defines an gantt type dataset Defines a gantt series for a ganttDataset Specifies the expression used to determine tasks in a ganttSeries. Specifies the expression used to determine subtasks in a ganttSeries. Specifies the expression used to determine the percent in a ganttSeries. Indicates the specific <valueExpression> tag for generic element parameters. Unlike other <valueExpression> elements, it contains a class attribute. Class of the bucket values. The bucket order type. The buckets will be sorted in ascending order by using the specified comparator or by the natural order if no comparator specified. The buckets will be sorted in descending order by using the specified comparator or by the natural order if no comparator specified. No sorting of bucket values will be performed, the buckets will show in the order the values come from the dataset. Name of the bucket property.
