JasperReports long field's border - jasper-reports

I've got a long text field which wraps to another page, the problem is that the border on first page does not matches end of page...
I guess I coul've fixed it by adding some Frame element, but I couldn't achive it by now.
thanks!

I guess the cause of this problem was "Strech type: relative to tallest object"
my solution was to put all the fields in an outlined frame
and disable fields bottom border

html2canvas renders fixed element in wrong position

When I use html2canvas on a page with a fixed header, it renders the header near the bottom of the canvas rather than where it should be at the top. Is there a workaround for this so that it renders fixed elements in the correct position?
Without seeing your code, it is possible that you need to specify the vertical-align property of the header's children elements to be text-top.
Setting scrollX and scrollY to 0 sorted the issue.
html2canvas(document.body,{scrollX: 0, scrollY: 0})

Unity ScrollView with multiline string Content height adaption

So, I have a growing string with many "\n". Every app start I will load the total string and every app use some new lines will be added.
The string is inside the Content of a ScrollView. But the Content size is not scaling with the string length. I want the Content to be exactly as high as the text lines go and be scrollable.
I can think of calculating the line count and set the content height manually. But maybe there is a more simple way? Please tell me your solutions.
I found a convenient non-code answer myself. You put the Text-Component directly on your Content GameObject. Then you use a ContentSizeFitter and set Vertical: Preferred. Also the Content anchors have to be set for variable height.
This enables me to dynamically set and scroll through a different text length with a ScrollView. (The font size is kept, to still fit the rest of the GUI)
I am still open for other answers.

stretch a textField to a max height in jasper reports

I think this is more of a general issue. I would like to use a textfield that gets dynamic data and doesn't stretch more than a given max height. For instance, I have a textfield that, if it gets text that fits in one line, the textfield will be one line height, and i have other elements under it, that will move up with float positioning. Or, if I want a 3 line max height and if the text exceeds that space, then the rest will be trimmed.
I don't want to use java expressions to trim that text, as it is not always accurate. I am new to jasper and I am trying to know if there is any way to do this. I did a lot of searches, but maybe there is something that i missed, and i hope someone can help me. Thank you
I managed to solve this by extending net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.TextMeasurer and overriding initialize() method; also I had to extend net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.AbstractTextMeasurerFactory and override the createMeasurer() method.
Now, whenever I want to have max # of lines, with no overflow, I add a property to that text field (e.g. maxLines) which is being passed to my custom TextMeasurerFactory. I hope this helped you.
We had a similar problem at work with JASPER Reports 4.5, where we had an invoice with a header and a table. We wanted the header to have dynamic height based on the lengths of certain fields (like address, partner name, etc,), but not more than a critical limit, otherwise the header will push the table and thus making a mess by splitting it across multiple pages. Also, the invoice shouldn't exceed 1 page.
We eventually had to move the header in the background section, where we also put a background for the table consisting of vertical lines (so it will extend to the end of an A4 page) and a white opaque square.
This way, if the header exceeds the max height it will go underneath the table's background, cropping the text. This was the desired effect we were looking for.
Sounds crazy, but it worked ...

How to stretch text field on multiple pages in Jasper Reports?

Scenario:
I have a jasper report with multiple text fields inside a detail band. Each text field has the properties:
Position: Float
Stretch Type: Relative to tallest object
Print When Detail Overflows: False
Stretch With Overflow: True
The details band has the property:
SplitType: Stretch
Current Result:
When one of the text fields is taller than the page and extends to a next page, all other text fields stretch to the end of the page.
Problem:
I want all text fields to be able to stretch on the next page as well. If I use the property 'Print When Detail Overflows: True' then this causes the text fields to be 'reprinted' with data duplicated. That is not my intention. I want to be able to stretch the text field to more than one page.
Thank you!
I also have same problem and after playing whole day did not figure out anything :-(.
My workaround was to set whole band to "Prevent" split type. It is not solution. Only trying to not have text fields 'reprinted' with data duplicated.
You can try setting to the field's Stretch Type to Relative to Band Height. If that didn't work, just play with those properties. I believe you can accomplish it by playing with the properties you mentioned.

How to stretch a text field relative to data width in Jasper Reports

I have a text field followed by a static text field and I am trying to do 2 things with it:
Get the text field to stretch horizontally (not wrap) when text is longer then the field width and
Push the static text field right when the text field to the left of it stretches
Both of the fields are contained within a frame.
I have both fields set to positionType=float and the text field set to stretchWithOverflow=true, which enable text to wrap vertically but not stretch horizontally.
Is it possible to achieve 1 and 2 above? If so How?
Instead of having 2 text fields (dynamic and static), you can have 1 text field with value as $F{Field} + "statix text". This will probably fix your issue. Also, you can set the "width" and "stretch with overflow" properties, as per your requirements.
Well it's bad news!! According to Jaspersoft's documentation on stretching fields it is not possible to stretch the width of a field:
"Usually, the stretching process refers to the height adjustment only.
When stretching report elements, adjusting the width could affect also
the page width and raise unexpected errors at runtime (for instance,
truncated information could be printed out on pages). This is why
stretching an element let its width unchanged, while its height gets
definitely enlarged in order to make room for all information that
have to be displayed." (Jaspersoft documentation [v4.5.0], 2011)
However a solution to the original issue can be found here thanks to #mdahlman
Just select text field and from its textfield properties choose "stretch with overflow" and it will change its height dynamically according to text .enter image description here
