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.

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.

Specified by:

setRemoveLineWhenBlank in interface JRElement
