        public void setStretchType​(StretchTypeEnum stretchType)
        Description copied from interface: JRElement
        Specifies how the engine should treat a missing image.
        Specified by:

        Specified by:
        setPrintRepeatedValues in interface JRElement
      • getMode

        public ModeEnum getMode()
        Description copied from interface: JRCommonElement
        Returns the element transparency mode. The default value depends on the type of the report element. Graphic elements like rectangles and lines are opaque by default, but the images are transparent. Both static texts and text fields are transparent by default, and so are the subreport elements.
        Specified by:
        getMode in interface JRCommonElement
      • getX

        public int getX()
        Description copied from interface: JRElement
        Gets the the section relative horizontal offset of the element top left corner.
        Specified by:
        getX in interface JRElement
      • setX

        public void setX​(int x)
        Description copied from interface: JRElement
        Sets the the section relative horizontal offset of the element top left corner.
        Specified by:
        setX in interface JRElement
      • setY

        public void setY​(int y)
      • getY

        public int getY()
        Description copied from interface: JRElement
        Gets the the section relative vertical offset of the element top left corner.
        Specified by:

      • setWidth

        public void setWidth​(int width)
        Specified by:
        setWidth in interface JRElement
      • setHeight

        public void setHeight​(int height)
      • isRemoveLineWhenBlank

        public boolean isRemoveLineWhenBlank()
        Description copied from interface: JRElement
        Returns true if the remaining blank space appearing when the value is not printed will be removed. Under certain circumstances (the element has an empty string as its value or contains a repeated value that is supressed) the space reserved for the current element remains empty. If this method returns true, it means the engine will try to suppress the blank line, but will only succeed if no other elements occupy the same vertical space.
        Specified by:
        isRemoveLineWhenBlank in interface JRElement
      • setRemoveLineWhenBlank

        public void setRemoveLineWhenBlank​(boolean isRemoveLine)
        Description copied from interface: JRElement
        Specifies whether the remaining blank space appearing when the value is not printed will be removed. Under certain circumstances (the element has an empty string as its value or contains a repeated value that is supressed) the space reserved for the current element remains empty. If the parameter is set to true, it means the engine will try to suppress the blank line, but will only succeed if no other elements occupy the same vertical space.

        public int getPrepareHeight()
      • setPrepareHeight

        protected void setPrepareHeight​(int prepareHeight)
        Element height is calculated in two phases. First, the element stretches on its own during prepare, to accommodate all its content. This is the natural stretch and we keep track of the calculated height in prepareHeight. Secondly, the element stretches further in accordance with its stretchType property. This forced stretch occurs at a later time and the amount of stretch is kept in stretchHeight.

        protected boolean stretchElementToHeight​(int stretchHeight)
        This method returns a boolean signaling if any stretch change occurred. It does not say which amount of stretch was applied, but that is OK, because the only place where this is checked is during frame cascading stretch, where the stretchHeight field of the frame (set here) is used directly.
