Dynamically changing the map type

joshr

<p>I have a BIRT report that uses the Map report item to display some regional information. Is it possible to change the type of map through scripting?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I tried looking through the api document provided here <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.birt.doc.isv/model/api/org/eclipse/birt/report/model/api/ReportDesignHandle.html'&gt;http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.birt.doc.isv/model/api/org/eclipse/birt/report/model/api/ReportDesignHandle.html&lt;/a&gt;but didn't have much luck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My main objective is to be able to change the type specified in the construct. </p>

<p>One option is in the <em>beforeFactory </em>event to get a handle to the report item name of the map, and then change the XML to the map you want to display.</p>

<p>Attached is a parameterized example of changing the map type.</p>
