I am using jasper report as reporting tool in my application. And I am wondering how can i wrap the long text by expanding the reportElement
dynamically into vertical direction ( expanding the row size, not column width). Or Is there any way to achieve this? My approach below is truncating the long text "Some very long name". Can you please give me some suggestions?
Output :

Click on the particular textfield in iReport. On the right side, see TextField properties. Check the option "STRETCH WITH OVERFLOW".
Go to the Text Field Properties then set Text Adjust to StretchHeight . Highly active question.
Make sure that 'Styled text' is enabled for the text field and put this in the field expression. The pdfFontName can be whatever you like. If you are making text bold that is already in a string be sure to escape the above quotes with a backslash or use single quotes.
I found the answer myself :
I did some extra research about the properties of textField
and rectangle
components. And found that I need to set the following properties.
For rectangle :
<rectangle> <reportElement stretchType="RelativeToBandHeight" ... /> </rectangle>
For textField :
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true"> ... </textField>
Output as expected :
The <detail> ...</detail>
section after correction :
<detail> <band height="21" splitType="Stretch"> <rectangle> <reportElement stretchType="RelativeToBandHeight" x="0" y="0" width="88" height="21"/> </rectangle> <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true"> <reportElement x="2" y="0" width="84" height="21"/> <textElement verticalAlignment="Middle"/> <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{personName}]]></textFieldExpression> </textField> <rectangle> <reportElement stretchType="RelativeToBandHeight" x="88" y="0" width="122" height="21"/> </rectangle> <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true"> <reportElement x="90" y="0" width="118" height="21"/> <textElement verticalAlignment="Middle"/> <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{address}]]></textFieldExpression> </textField> </band> </detail>
UPDATE
You can also set property net.sf.jasperreports.print.keep.full.text
to true
to achieve that across your all reports.
