Hide rows by adjusting row height in web report design with Java reporting tool

[becklery]

When design report, we often display all the content of web report. However, according to some special conditions, we may need to hide some corresponding rows in web report design.

Most designers choose to hide rows with condtion control. But in some conditions, it is very inconvenient. However, with RAQ Report, users can hide rows with some more flexible methods.

Here, I introduce a method which control row height with conditions to hide rows.

In grouping web report, when computing the sum of a group, it often need to hide the result. It can be realized by hiding rows according to conditions, but this may be inconvenient sometimes. In this condition, it can be also realized by adjusting row height.

Take 6.3.raq in the Quick_Start_Examples in the RAQ Report installation package. In this report, there is a sum of company number in each group. When the sum is 0, it should be hided.

With RAQ Report, users just need to write the height expression of the row as if(C3{}==7,0,8 ). Then, when the data of cell C3 is 0, the row height will be set as 0. So the row turned to invisible.
