is it possible to let a text flow around a picture?
(See attached report) Birt Version 3.7.1.v20110905-4607

I have a picture in the left upper corner and I want to let the text begin at the right side from the pictures top and if the text came through the end of the picture the text should beginn on the left side under the picture. The solutions should be something like the wordtext.jpg.

One way to do this would be to substring the text into two text
elements. See attached example.

Yes, i think about this, too. But the problem is, that I don't know the length of the text, because it comes from a dataset. I think I must redesign the Report.

Thank you.

You could always add a computed column to the data set or grid to
calculate the string length:

BirtStr.charLength(dataSetRow["verylongstring"]);
