<p>Hello,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My report is an invoice.</p>
<p>It has several levels (invoice header, item lines, pricing lines, item footer comments, ... , invoice trailer).</p>
<p>The "detail" row is composed of multiple optional elements, so the height of the "detail" row is not fixed.</p>
<p>The invoice trailer is a grid composed of total amounts, dates, ... , and taxes lines.</p>
<p>The major part of the elements of that grid are "elementary" data (to the invoice) but the taxes.</p>
<p>Taxes data are put in a table which can have from 1 to... usualy not more than 4 lines.</p>
<p>The pb is, because it's a table (then, iterative data), i can't put the full grid in the master page footer (another reason is that the footer shouldn't appear before the last page).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, my pb is : i have in the layout a grid with iterative data that i want to push to page footer at render time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't want to use scripting to put the taxes data into variables (i.e. taxcod1, base1, amount1, taxcod2, base2, amout2,...) because it's really too ugly and looks really not professional (imo).</p>
<p>Even if this would make the full grid movable to master page footer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, my idea was to :</p>
<p>- set a fixed height to invoice footer grid</p>
<p>- set an empty "dummy" element just before that grid and adjust that dummy element height at render timer to push the footer grid to a predefined fixed vertical "coord" of the page.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But i didn't find how to get from Birt a "current printing/rendering cursor position in the page" in order to evaluate the value to set the "dummy element" height.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Could this be achieved this way ?</p>
<p>Or another way ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your support/ideas.</p>
<p> </p>
