Package org.jfree.report.layout Description

Banded layout management. BandLayoutManagers perform the layouting task for within a band for all Elements and Bands contained in the Band. The concept is shamelessly stolen from AWT, as it seems to produce better (and more flexible) results than trying to hardcode an algorithm.

BandLayoutManager should be defined for bands by using the StyleKey BandStyleSheet.LAYOUTMANAGER. The defined Layoutmanager are only usefull for PageableReportProcessors or similiar targets, where bands are mapped into a static coordinate space.
