Hi All,
Please let me know if we can implement Newspaper/MultiColumn layout in BIRT.
We have used, BIRT 3.7.1, where using some workarounds, this layout is possible,
where we are dividing data in multiple columns of table based on condition.
But, this will not solve our problem, as we might have data that will not fit in single row, which results in uneven columns.
Please let me know, if this functionality is available in currently available versions of BIRT(4.2.2 or 4.3).
Eagerly awaiting for the response.

The same method still applies in the latest version. Using a grid, multiple tables, and filters. I've done a report where I broke the multiple-line rows into individual rows in a scripted dataset to be used in the newspaper style layout. I'm not on my work computer, so I'll have to post the example tomorrow. I'll also let you know if I think of something better.

The example I have was made in Actuate BIRT, so, I'll just tell you what it does.
It takes the data from the first dataSet and stores it into an array. That data is used in the scripted dataSet and trimmed down into individual rows based on my spacing available. So, each original row would be split into as many rows as necessary, then I would go to the next row and split it up until all rows were split up. If you need an example, let me know. I'll make an example in your version.
