JasperReport reportElement tag in jrxml

[Sumanth Singh]

Hi,

We are using Jasper reports for generating a pdf , csv, xml files. Pdf for assigning the converted report to a printer.

When entering data into text fields below I am unable to understand how many characters can i provide for the respective font sizes to the width provided for each textfield.

How would i find the number of characters which can can be accommodated for font size = 10 font Name= "Times New Roman" for width="541" in the textfields below ??

<textField isBlankWhenNull="true">
	<reportElement x="29" y="447" width="541" height="12"/>
	<textElement>
    	      <font fontName="Times New Roman" size="10" isBold="true" pdfFontName="Times-Roman"/>
	</textElement>
	<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{O34}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>

<textField isBlankWhenNull="true">
	<reportElement x="30" y="447" width="538" height="12"/>
	<textElement>
	      <font fontName="Times New Roman" size="9" isBold="true" pdfFontName="Times-Roman"/>
	</textElement>
	<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{O34_8}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>

<textField isBlankWhenNull="true">
	<reportElement x="31" y="449" width="537" height="10"/>
	<textElement>
		<font fontName="Times New Roman" size="7" isBold="true" pdfFontName="Times-Roman"/>
	</textElement>
	<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{O34_6}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>

Any suggestion or help would be humbly appreciated.


Thanks,
Sumanth
