Description / Goal
How to create landscape orientation reports.

Since
0.1.0


This feature is used when a report should be visualized or printed in the Landscape page layout. A page is considered to be in a Landscape orientation when its width and height appear as interchanged.
In order to manage its pages layout, the <jasperReport /> element contains the orientation attribute.
Values allowed for this attribute are:
  • Portrait
  • Landscape
By default, in JasperReports pages are visualized as Portrait. The orientation being an attribute at report level, its value applies to all pages in the generated document.
Below is a code snippet showing how to set in a report the Landscape orientation: 
<jasperReport
		xmlns="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="LandscapeReport" pageWidth="842" pageHeight="595" orientation="Landscape" columnWidth="842" leftMargin="0" rightMargin="0" topMargin="0" bottomMargin="0">
Here one can observe that pageWidth and pageHeight values were interchanged and the orientation attribute takes the Landscape value.

Running the Sample

Running the sample requires the Apache Ant library. Make sure that ant is already installed on your system (version 1.5 or later).
In a command prompt/terminal window set the current folder to demo/samples/landscape within the JasperReports source project and run the > ant test view command.
It will generate all supported document types containing the sample report in the demo/samples/landscape/build/reports directory.
Then the report will open in the JasperReports internal viewer.
