In a Jasper report I have 4 Frames (below image) which have some properties set as shown in the same image.
Now, the idea is that given certain parameters showBlue
and showRed
the frames BLUE
and RED
respectively are shown or hidden and the subsequent frame "floats" after the previous one (taking in consideration the following order: BLUE
<- RED
<- GREEN
) while BLACK
should stay in the same place.
The two left frames (RED
and GREEN
) were floating up perfectly before the BLACK
one was set in place. After that when I set the parameters showBlue
and showRed
to false
(hide BLUE
and RED
frames) this is the result:
This is the jrxml for the report design:

And I have set up a Java Project with Swagger in case you want to run it with maven.
Q: How can I make frames RED
and GREEN
to properly "float-up" after its previous frame while frame BLACK
stays in the same place?
