Banded Objects
A banded object is a type of component that can present grouped data and detail data. A banded object is composed of several banded panels with which you can easily organize data fields and other elements.
You can embed additional data components inside a banded object. When the embedded data components inherit the dataset of the parent, the report becomes powerful. Suppose you want to have a chart to give to each salesman showing this months sales. You can create a banded object with nothing except a group header panel with the salesman's name and insert a chart into the same panel that inherits it's data from the parent. When you run the report a chart will be created for every salesman.
Banded objects are not supported for web reports and library components.
The following topics describe banded objects:
See an example: The SampleComponents catalog, included with Logi JReport Designer, contains reports that have examples of how each component type could be used in a report. For the banded object example, open <install_root>\Demo\Reports\SampleComponents\BandedObjectReport.cls.
