Scripted Allows you to implement custom logic, communicate with Java objects, or get access to data within your application. It can be used to access virtually any data source that is structured or that contains an API.
Web Services Supports connections to a web service. A wizard helps you point at a service through a WSDL and select the data. Excel Initially contributed by the community, this connector allows you to pull in data from Excel Workbooks. Layout 4 The main portion of the designer is the Layout view. Tool What it does Label Use to include static or localized text within a report.
Typically used for report titles, column headers or any other report text. Text Use to include richly formatted text to your report, including HTML formatting integrated with dynamic data. Dynamic Text Use to integrate static text with dynamic or conditional data.
Data Use to include data from a connection in your report. Image Use to include images from various sources and locations. Grid Use to define the layout of a report.
A grid can be nested within other grids to support complex layouts. List Use to display data elements from your data sources that repeat and create a new report row for each data set row. Lists can contain multiple levels of grouping. Table Use to display repeating data elements within your report. Tables support multiple columns and multiple levels of grouping. Cross Tab Use to display grouped and dynamic data, organized by both the row and column level.
Aggregation Use to build totals for tables and groups. Outline 8 The outline shows your design in a tree structure. Enter a name for your project and hit Finish. Right click on your new project in the Navigator and create a new report. Be sure your project is selected, give the design a name and hit Next. Choose the blank template and hit Finish. Go to the Data Explorer, right-click on Data Sources and create a new data source.
Next, right-click on Data Sets and create a new data set. Make sure your data source is selected, give your data set a name and hit Next. Drag your data set from the Data Explorer into your layout, below the label. Select all of the columns in the pop-up and click OK.
Go to the Groups tab in the property editor and select Add. Localization BIRT supports internationalization of report data, including support for bidirectional text. Type of style How the style is used Built-In Styles Built-in styles can be shared in a report library for managing style across multiple reports. Customization with Expressions, Scripting and Events You can modify many aspects of reports in BIRT Designer using drag-and-drop capabilities and by setting properties, but the designer also supports more advanced customizations through expressions, scripting and events.
This task does not create a report document. IRunTask Use this task to run a report and generate a report document that can be saved to disk. IDataExtractionTask Use this task to extract data from a report document. Modify Viewer source Use as a starter web application, customizing it for your environment. This mapping also generates an intermediate report document from the report design file to support the AJAX-based features.
The output from the run and render operation is sent directly to the browser. Postscript Output that can be directed to a Postscript-compatible printer. Open Document Text, spreadsheet and presentation. Report Items Report Items can be extended, allowing you to create your own custom report items.
Eclipse Newsletter A fresh new issue delivered monthly. An XML file that contains the data connection information, design layout and instructions. Ensures all reports you create start with some common elements, such as a company header or predefined styles.
Stores commonly used report elements, such as a company logo, so they are managed in one place for all reports. The executed design, including layout instructions and data.

Use to display repeating data elements within your report. Use to build totals for tables and groups. Use this task to run a report and create output directly to a supported format. Use this task to create your own parameter GUI and obtain information about parameters, including default values. Use this task to extract data from a report document.
Renders the report in the full AJAX viewer, complete with toolbar, navigation bar and table of contents. Runs and renders the report but does not create a report document. Runs and renders the report but does not generate a report document, although an existing report document can be used in which case just the render operation occurs.
The second statement sets dimension with ChartDimension. The background color of a plot or a plot's client area can be changed. The above code sets the plot's background to orange, and sets the client area's background to yellow.
Enable legend chart. There are two legend types, LegendItemType. The former shows a different legend icon for each category, and the later shows different icon for each series.
Setting the chart title is very simple, as the first line shows. You can also set other attributes, like the font size, font name, font style, and more. We get the first primary base axis as the X axis, while the Y axis is orthogonal to the X axis. By default, the title of the axis is not visible, so we enable that for both axes and set their titles. Finally, we specify the scale step on Y axis as 1.
The first thing to create the X series is to create the data set to bind. In this example, the X axis is a category axis, so we use TextDataSet. Then, we create a series, and bind the data set to it. In order to define what the series looks like, we need to create a series definition. Here we choose the first series palette. Finally, we add the series definition to X axis, and add the series to the series definition.
Creation of the Y series is similar to that of the X series. Here, the Y axis must be a value axis, so we use a NumberDataSet. The BIRT Chart Engine doesn't provide a SWT chart widget that can be used directly, so we need create it by ourselves if we want to display a chart in an editor or view.
In the following example, we create the ChartCanvas class, which extends from Canvas. In the constructor, we need to get the device renderer for SWT. The device renderer is responsible for rendering a chart onto a target device. The target device can be an image file or widget toolkit like SWT or Swing. PluginSettings ; they are shown below:. We selected dv. In the constructor, we add one paint listener to do the actual painting work. We use double-buffering to draw the chart on the canvas to avoid flickering while the chart is being drawn.
In the paint listener , if this is the first time to get paint event, we build the chart via the buildChart method, and then draw the chart on an org. Image named cachedImage through the drawToCachedImage Thereafter, the cached image is used to draw the chart with a call to GC. The buildChart , and drawToCachedImage The buildChart method is responsible for building the runtime chart state with the render display server.
One important thing to do is to scale the bounds of chart from pixel to point. SWT and other screen based renders always use pixels as the logical unit. We need to scale the bounds of chart from pixels to points. Another important step is to get a Generator instance and build the runtime chart state with the given chart model and display server.
So the generated runtime chart state takes all necessary information to render, which includes the DisplayServer , chart model, and the bounds. The bounds define the area that the generated chart will be drawn on. In the drawToCachedImage First, we create a GC for the cached image, and set it into the renderer with the property name IDeviceRenderer.
Then, generator asks the renderer to perform actual rendering with the generated runtime chart state.
