Make cell unassailable to random content with web reporting tool
Background
Sometimes, the data of a cell may exceed the original cell size in the web report. Then, what should we do?
For common web reporting tools, there are two major methods.
A method is to dynamically widen cell according to data, or heighten cell by wrapping text. However, users sometimes want to fix the width and height of cell.
Another method is to adjust font like Excel does. However, this method is suitable only when data length is not much wider than cell size, otherwise, data may be too small to read.
Therefore, they all have disadvantages.
Solution
As a pure Java web reporting tool, RAQ Report provides a wonderful method by combining these two methods ingeniously. It can both wrap text and shrink font when data is excessive. Then, font is shrunken less for better readability. Moreover, RAQ Report can operate not only a character cell, but also a graph cell.
Operation
Users just need to select a page break mode and decide whether to wrap text after report design.
