The
<textField>
element in the JRXML template has a y position of
0
, and a height
of
24
. We positioned the new
<staticText>
element to have a y position of
25
, just
below the <
textField>
.
For clarity, we explicitly set the
positionType
attribute
of
<reportElement>
to
FixRelativeToTop
. It was not
really necessary to do it, since
FixRelativeToTop
is the
default value.
Notice the
<box>
element we added to the
<textField>
and
<staticText>
elements. This
<box>
field allows us to display a border around the elements,
making it very clear where the element starts and ends. We chose to do this to be
able to easily see the position of the elements within the report.
