Positioning items in grid

bjw

Hallo,

I am using java to create birt tems and display reports( birt version 2.5.1)

I can not define the position(x,y) where i can place items inside a grid(other grids, or labels). I tried setX(), setY() but no result.

Is there something i should do ?

thanks in advance

Hi bjw,

You have to use grids to position items within your report. If you want something in the center of a grid, you can set the alignment to center. If you want something 2in. down and 1in. over, you'd have a multi column/row grid with a row of height 2in. above the row you put your label in and a column to the left of it defined as 1in. wide. Then, the cell in the second row of the second column would be where you wanted to place your label.

Hope this helps.
