How to expand frames dynamically in JasperReports?

问题

frame
  text field: short | text field: very long text causing linebreak
frame
  other elements

How do I have to configure jasper reports so that the long text field moves all subsequent frames and elements down? (ie: causes a resize of the frames dynamically)?

回答1:

Solution: make the text fields float; stretch relative to tallest object; overflow and make the surrounding frames float; no stretch.

This is very counter-intuitive that an expanding frame will have to be set to no stretch in order to expand, and move any subsequent elements down accordingly.
