I don't know of direct support from BIRT for this requirement. But you can
try the following workaround: Use a text block with HTML to set the CSS3
property "writing-mode":

<span style="writing-mode: tb-rl">Your header</span>

Tested this with BIRT2.1RC3; it works with IE6 but not with Firefox 1.5.

I don't know of a simple Browser-independent way of doing this; e.g. you can
use (may be even dynamically generated) images to display the headers.

Hi. How can I change the display direction of an object within the report?
Something like this.getStyle()....

I was trying something with writing-mode or direction but it seems they're
not implemented...

HELP!!!: BIRT applying styles [message #165955 is a reply to message #164272]

Hi. I want to apply a style to an element from a property file inside the
report. The problem is that is ignored the new style taken from a css file
with import style...:

span,div.verText { writing-mode: tb-rl; filter: flipH() flipV(); height:
150px;}

If I define a text object and apply directly the
<span style="writing-mode: tb-rl; filter: flipH() flipV(); height:
150px;">My Test</span> it works.

Is this a bug in BIRT?

Thank you,
Cristian
