The properties of a crosstab in a library component are:

Data type: Boolean

Note: The setting of the alternating line color function for crosstab can only take effect when all the aggregate fields in the crosstab have transparent background.
Pattern List Specifies the color pattern for the fields in the same rows or columns in the crosstab. Click in the value cell and click the small squares in the color tray one by one to specify the patterns. The patterns can be one or more of the following: Automatic, Color, Texture, and Gradient.

Data type: Boolean

Navigation Height Specifies the height of the frame for holding the crosstab. Enter a numeric value to specify the height. If no value is given here, JReport will calculate the height at runtime.

  • Default - The values of the properties are calculated in the default location where they are located.
  • Page Header - The values of the properties are calculated in the page header.

Data type: Enumeration
Suppress Specifies whether to show the object in the design area and in the report results. All formulas and calculations will be skipped if the property is set to true.

Data type: Boolean

Note: When both the Invisible and Suppress properties of an object are set to true, Suppress has the higher priority.
Suppress When No Records Specifies whether to display the object in the report results when no record is returned to its parent data container.
