I want to get color to alternate for the rows in a JasperReports subreport. I have all rows with the same background color but I want it to alternate. Can this be done?
Yes you can set up a style inside the JRXML file like this:
<style name="Zebra" mode="Transparent">
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[$V{REPORT_COUNT}%2 == 1]]></conditionExpression>
<style backcolor="#CAC5BB"/>
</conditionalStyle>
</style>
and add it to your report elements like this:
<reportElement style="Zebra" mode="Opaque" x="1" y="1" width="554" height="20"/>
You cannot add conditional styles to style template files (e.g., .jrtx
files).
