I am desperately trying to format the Field "FilmID" based on it's value. Could you provide me with a conditional expression to format values >= 3 in red color ?
Conditional Style
Thanks a lot in advance!
Another variant of this question would be, what did I do wrong in this expression:
<style name="Style1" mode="Opaque" backcolor="#DBD82A">
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[$F{Revenue} > 10000]]></conditionExpression>
<style mode="Opaque" backcolor="#C92B28"/>
</conditionalStyle>
</style>
Assuming that $F{Revenue} is numeric (Integer, Double, Float ecc)
if you are using jasper report version 6.0 or above there is nothing wrong with your style expression, for jasper report 3.0, you need new Boolean($F{Revenue} > 10000)in expression.
You need also to be sure that you apply the style to a report element.
<reportElement style="style1" x="49" y="4" width="100" height="20" uuid="865e11e4-c2d4-40ac-be06-dc1359dc93c0"/>

I am using Jasper Report for designing report. I have a report where there is a static text. I want to set the background color of it by parameter value. In the XML it generates for the text like this:
<reportElement mode="Opaque" x="434" y="0" width="121" height="12" backcolor="#A6A6A6" uuid="e088bd9f-a0ac-4f34-9375-df765c829ec2"/>.
Now I need to set the backcolor from a parameter which will come from database. for here like #A6A6A6.
What can I try next? I have researched it, but no luck.
You can do that with net.sf.jasperreports.style.* element level properties (for which you can have expressions as values).
In your case you would need
<textField>
<reportElement ...>
<propertyExpression name="net.sf.jasperreports.style.backcolor">$P{someColor}</propertyExpression>
</reportElement>
...
I'm using the Jasper Report library for Java v6.19.1 and the Report Design plugin for Eclipse.
I created this conditional style and I applied it to a text field.
<style name="myStyleBold">
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[$F{misura} == null]]></conditionExpression>
<style isBold="true" isItalic="true" isUnderline="true" isStrikeThrough="true"/>
</conditionalStyle>
</style>
All formats are working (isItalic="true" isUnderline="true" isStrikeThrough="true"), but the isBold="true" is never applied.
Anyone has the same issue or solved it?
Solved. The value must be < EREDITATO >. It was "false".
I'm currently having trouble when producing an iReport, when I run the report it's giving me a weight of 29000.0kg but I require just 29000kg. I've tried different formats but I understand it might need changing in XML.
If anyone could point me in the right direction or assist me in changing this please comments
Currently this is the XML code that is against fields:
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{EquipmentTareWeightKg} +"kg"]]></textFieldExpression>
Any ideas on how to include this?
I've figured this out, it doesn't require hardcoding but merely changed in the properties window within ireport designer, however if you see below, you change the pattern value to remove decimal places:
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{EquipmentLengthMm} /1000]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<textField pattern="###0" isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement x="399" y="0" width="32" height="20"/>
<textElement>
<font size="12"/>
</textElement>
I have a piece of HTML stored in a database as:
<ul>
<li>Pretend you're talking to a busy colleague and have to sum up your entire question in one sentence: what details can you include that will help someone identify and solve your problem?</li>
<li>Spelling, grammar and punctuation are important! Remember, this is the first part of your question others will see - you want to make a good impression. If you're not comfortable writing in English, ask a friend to proof-read it for you. </li>
<li>If you're having trouble summarizing the problem, write the title last - sometimes writing the rest of the question first can make it easier to describe the problem. </li>
</ul>
I am displaying this piece of HTML in a PDF using a JasperReports textField, the above HTML should display like this in the generated PDF.
Pretend you're talking to a busy colleague and have to sum up your entire question in one sentence: what details can you include that will help someone identify and solve your problem?
Spelling, grammar and punctuation are important! Remember, this is the first part of your question others will see - you want to make a good impression. If you're not comfortable writing in English, ask a friend to proof-read it for you.
If you're having trouble summarizing the problem, write the title last - sometimes writing the rest of the question first can make it easier to describe the problem.
But this HTML is showing as :
The snippet from jrxml file:
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="7" y="47" width="501" height="15" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true" forecolor="#283234"/>
<textElement markup="html">
<font size="10"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{description}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
HTML is feeded in description variable.
Any idea how can I align text?
My solution shows the plain JRXML which is the desired result independent from the tools someone is using, e.g. iReport GUI, dynamic reports or java code designing Jasper reports.
First define a style, which corrects the indentation pulling the first line some pixels to the left and pushes the whole box the same width to the right:
<style name="hanging-indentation-style">
<box leftPadding="23"/>
<paragraph firstLineIndent="-23"/>
</style>
Second, this style is applied to the reportElement of the textField:
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement style="hanging-indentation-style" positionType="Float" mode="Transparent" x="0" y="0" width="555" height="20" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"/>
<textElement markup="html"/>
<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$F{description}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
Depending on your font size you may vary the style values to fit your needs.
I adapted input from Aligning Bullets in Jasper Reports, where dynamic reports api is used, and Jasper Report HTML bullet hanging indent, where it is shown through the GUI, which was not possible in my case using iReport Designer 4.5.1, because there is no option to apply padding directly to a textField.
I'm working on a system that includes a large number of reports, generated using JasperReports. One of the newer features is that you can define styles for reports.
From the available docs I believe there is some way to have an external file defining styles to use, and you can reference that in your jasper reports. This allows a single style to be used by multiple reports.
I can't find any concrete information on whether this is an actual feature, and if it is, how to use it. Does anyone know if it is possible to have external styles for jasper reports, and if so, how to do it?
Use JasperReport templates. A JasperReports template is one that ends in .jrtx, and may look similar to this (styles.jrtx):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE jasperTemplate
PUBLIC "-//JasperReports//DTD Template//EN"
"http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jaspertemplate.dtd">
<jasperTemplate>
<style name="Report Title" isDefault="false" hAlign="Center" fontSize="24" isBold="true"/>
<style name="Heading 1" isDefault="false" fontSize="18" isBold="true"/>
<style name="Heading 2" isDefault="false" fontSize="14" isBold="true"/>
</jasperTemplate>
and then in your .jrxml file, include it as a template:
...
<template><![CDATA["styles.jrtx"]]></template>
...
iReport also understands this, so your styles are imported and shown in iReport correctly (though I did notice sometimes it wouldn't pick them up an a reload or recompile was necessary).
You can also avoid specifying the actual file name in the <template> element by using a parameter passed into your report at runtime
<parameter name="TEMPLATE_FILE" isForPrompting="false" class="java.lang.String"/>
<template><![CDATA[$P{TEMPLATE_FILE}]]></template>
where $P{TEMPLATE_FILE} is the full path to the style resource
I like to share my learning of using styles in Jasper reports, which I think quite useful for report designers like me, from a book named JasperReport Development cookbook by Bilal Siddiqui. I like this book and found demonstrating styles in a variety of manner like:
Creating a reusable style
Simply select “Style” while creating a new report and define style for text, line and rectangles. The style file will be stored as .jrtx file.
Import reusable style it in your report
There are three chunk of information when importing styles in your report.
Step1. Name and location of style template
<template><![CDATA["C:\\ BigBoldRedTemplate.jrtx"]]></template>
Step2. Each time you apply style to your report elements using the style template, a <reportElement> tag is created as shown below:
//style applied to a rectangle
<rectangle radius="10">
<reportElement style="BigBoldRed" mode="Transparent" x="0" y="0" width="555" height="44"/>
</rectangle>
//style applied to a the text field
<staticText>
<reportElement style="BigBoldRed" x="0" y="0" width="555" height="66"/>
<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle"/>
<text><![CDATA[Monthly Customer Invoices]]></text>
</staticText>
Mixing the internal and reusable styles in report
Using the power of HTML to style your report
For example, your text field has following expression which includes HTML tags (i.e. <li>) and you want the HTML tags to work in your report design:
"<li>"+"Invoice # "+$F{InvoiceID}+", "+
$F{CustomerName}+" purchased
"+$F{ProductName}+" in
"+$F{InvoicePeriod}+" (Invoice value:
\$ "+$F{InvoiceValue}+")"+"
Solution is simple, just set “Markup” property of the text field to “Styled” and that it.
