Image overlapping [message #199574] Tue, 07 November 2006 01:56 Go to next message

Hi,

In BIRT, is not possible to place one image over the other. Basically I
need to have image overlapping functionality, where one image sits over
the other, for example the company logo or some informative image placed
on a background image.

Currently I am not able to do this.

Any clues,
Ravi Chamarthy.

Yes it is possible.

-- Define a new style element with the required background image.
-- Add a grid and insert an image item in the grid cell.
-- Apply the style created in step1 to the grid cell or grid.

Rima,

This does solves part of the problem, but not in entirety. The problem is
(I think so) BIRT does not allow to drag-and-drop report elements in user
desired location within the report canvas. Something which is missing when
compared to JReport and other reporting tools.

So as you suggested, even if I define a new style element with the req.
image as the background and apply this style to an image item, it always
places the image item on the top-left-corner of the background image, and
I cannot drag-and-drop it to the desired location.

Any further ideas ...

Thanks in Advance,
Ravi Chamarthy
