How to create powerpoint and excel exports? [message #635880] Thu, 28 October 2010 13:19 Go to next message

I am trying to export my reports to excel (.xls) and powerpoint (.ppt).
Currently I do:

....

try {
EngineConfig reportConfig = new EngineConfig();
reportConfig.setEngineHome(engineDir);
reportConfig.setLogConfig(null, Level.FINE);
Platform.startup(reportConfig);
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform
.createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_E NGINE_FACTORY);
reportEngine = factory.createReportEngine(reportConfig);
reportEngine.changeLogLevel(Level.WARNING);
IReportRunnable design = reportEngine
.openReportDesign(reportDesignHandle);
task = reportEngine.createRunAndRenderTask(design);
} catch (BirtException e) {
throw new Exception("Report exporter could not be initialized!",
e);
}

....

RenderOption renderOption = null;
if (ext.equalsIgnoreCase(OUTPUT_FORMAT_PDF)) {
renderOption = new PDFRenderOption();
renderOption.setOption("htmlPagination", true);
((PDFRenderOption) renderOption).setEmbededFont(true);
} else if (ext.equalsIgnoreCase(OUTPUT_FORMAT_HTML)) {
renderOption = new HTMLRenderOption();
renderOption.setOption("htmlPagination", true);
} else if (ext.equalsIgnoreCase(OUTPUT_FORMAT_XLS)) {
renderOption = new EXCELRenderOption();
} else if (ext.equalsIgnoreCase(OUTPUT_FORMAT_PPT)) {
renderOption = new PDFRenderOption();
renderOption.setOption("htmlPagination", true);
} else if (ext.equalsIgnoreCase(OUTPUT_FORMAT_DOC)) {
renderOption = new PDFRenderOption();
renderOption.setOption("htmlPagination", true);
} else if (ext.equalsIgnoreCase(OUTPUT_FORMAT_PS)) {
renderOption = new PDFRenderOption();
renderOption.setOption("htmlPagination", true);
}

....

renderOption.setSupportedImageFormats("PNG;GIF;JPG;BMP;SWF;SVG ");
renderOption.setBaseURL("");
renderOption.setOutputFormat(ext);
renderOption.setOutputFileName(documentPath);
task.setRenderOption(renderOption);
try {
task.run();
} catch (EngineException e) {
throw new Exception("Export task could not be completed!", e);
}
task.close();


But when I export a powerpoint report is just blank. How do I setup my
render to create powerpoints reports?

I have downloaded tribix :

http://qauck.blogspot.com/2010/01/tribix-251-released.html

and added it to my project. But I cannot find any documentation on how to
use it in my code to create powerpoint and excel reports. Anyone know if
there exists any documentation on how to create excel and powerpoint reports
using tribix?

If you download both the Tribix xls and ppt emitters you need to remove
the current BIRT emitters for those formats. Then just use a standard
RenderOption instance and set the output format to xls or ppt.

C:\birt-runtime-2_6_1\ReportEngine\plugins

with the :

org.uguess.birt.report.engine.emitter.xls_2.5.1.201001221050 .jar

(could only find a Tribix emitter for xls)

??


Do you have an example of a "standard" .ppt export example?

I was wondering why the build-in (native birt .ppt) does not work. Is it
only through Tribix its possible to make .ppt reports (assuming that there
is a tribrix .ppt emitter)?

You need to remove these four plugins:
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.prototype.excel_2.6.1 .v20100812
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.excel.config_2.6.1.v2 0100812
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.ppt.config_2.6.1.v201 00812
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.ppt_2.6.1.v20100909

The Tribix ppt emitter is on this page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tribix/files/

If you want to use the standard ppt emitter it should work with:

RenderOption options = new RenderOption();
options.setOutputFormat("ppt");
options.setOutputFileName("output/resample/customers.ppt");
task.setRenderOption(options);

task.setRenderOption(options);
task.run();

but when I open the file myout.ppt in microsoft power point 2010 nothing
shows. Does the birt 2.6.1 api not support microsoft powerpoint 2010?
