Pb with background image

aneso63

I have some troubles to create a report with BIRT 2.2.2.

Here is the initial situation:
I export my report under the PDF format, on a A0 landscape page.

On the 3/4th left of the page, I have an image.
On the 1/4th right of the page, I have a table.

I am using a XML datasource, from which I extract all the data (table + URL of image).

Problem:
The image is displayed too small. I would like it to fill the entire page, with the table overlaping on it.

I don't know how to overlap an image and a table, so I have tried to display the image as a background image, using a script.

In the table, function onCreate, I put the following code.
this.getStyle().backgroundImage = row["image"];

My image is now displayed as a background of the table.
But the problem is that the original image (a tiff) is too big to fit into the A0 page!

I would like to resize/rescale it. Maybe it is possible to store the content of the image, change the size and use this new image as a background... but I only have the URL and the backgroundImage can only be a String.

Does anyone know how to resize the image? Or how to overlap the table and the image?

Thanks by advance.
