Setting the size and position of a report element

Th e x and y attributes of <reportElement> specify the x and y coordinates (in pixels) of the element within the band. A common mistake in the beginning is to assume that the x and y coordinates defined here are absolute for the page. Again, the x and y coordinates defined by the x and y attributes are relative to the <band> where the element is contained. Coordinates (0, 0) are at the top left of the band. The x and y attributes of <reportElement> are required.

The width and height elements of <reportElement>, unsurprisingly, define the width and height (in pixels) of the element, respectively. The width and height attributes of <reportElement> are required. We have already seen several examples demonstrating the use of the x, y, width, and height elements of <reportElement>. Here is the JRXML template for the report we created in Chapter 3, Creating your First Report:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <jasperReportxmlns="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge .net/jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd" name="FirstReport"> <detail> <band height="20"> <staticText> <reportElement x="20" y="0" width="200" height="20"/> <text> <![CDATA[If you don't see this, it didn't work]]> </text> </staticText> </band> </detail> </jasperReport>
