Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
FillPrepareResult	addStretch(int delta)
int	getStretchHeight() Returns the amount of vertical space consumed by the component.
boolean	isToPrint() Returns whether the component will produce a print element at the current position in the generated report.
static FillPrepareResult	noPrintOverflow(int stretchHeight) Returns a result that indicates that the component will not print (at the current position in the generated report), but requires an overflow so that it can print on a new column/page.
static FillPrepareResult	printStretch(int stretchHeight, boolean overflow) Returns a result which indicates that the component will print at the current position, and optionally consume more vertical space and/or require a band overflow.
boolean	willOverflow() Returns whether a band overflow is required in order to continue the component fill on a new column/page.

Field Detail

NO_PRINT_NO_OVERFLOW

public static final FillPrepareResult NO_PRINT_NO_OVERFLOW

A result that indicates that the component will not print and does not require a band overflow.

This result would be used when the component does not intend to include any print element in the generated report.

PRINT_NO_STRETCH

public static final FillPrepareResult PRINT_NO_STRETCH

A result that indicates that the component will print, but will not stretch vertically.

This would be used when the component will produce a print element that fits the space allocated at design time for the component element.

Constructor Detail

FillPrepareResult

public FillPrepareResult(boolean toPrint,
                 int stretchHeight,
                 boolean overflow)

Creates a fill preparation result.

Parameters:

toPrint - indicates whether the component will produce a print element at the current position in the generated report

stretchHeight - the amount of vertical space consumed by the component

overflow - indicates whether a band overflow is required in order to continue the component fill on a new column/page

Method Detail

noPrintOverflow

public static FillPrepareResult noPrintOverflow(int stretchHeight)

Returns a result that indicates that the component will not print (at the current position in the generated report), but requires an overflow so that it can print on a new column/page.

Parameters:

stretchHeight - the height that is consumed by the component; usually this would be the same as the availableHeight argument passed to FillComponent.prepare(int)

Returns:

a result as described above

printStretch

public static FillPrepareResult printStretch(int stretchHeight,
                             boolean overflow)

Returns a result which indicates that the component will print at the current position, and optionally consume more vertical space and/or require a band overflow.

Parameters:

stretchHeight - the stretched height of the component

overflow - whether a band overflow is required so that the component would continue printing on a new column/page

Returns:

a result that the component will print with the specified stretch height and overflow flag

isToPrint

public boolean isToPrint()

Returns whether the component will produce a print element at the current position in the generated report.

Returns:

whether the component will print

willOverflow

public boolean willOverflow()

Returns whether a band overflow is required in order to continue the component fill on a new column/page.

Returns:

whether a band overflow is required

getStretchHeight

public int getStretchHeight()

Returns the amount of vertical space consumed by the component.

Returns:

the amount of vertical space consumed by the component

addStretch

public FillPrepareResult addStretch(int delta)
