Crystal Reports for Eclipse Designer Guide

To make the picture underlay the following section

  1. Click anywhere within the Page Header area to select it.
  2. In the "Properties" view, go to the list of miscellaneous properties, and set Underlay Following Sections to True.
    If you preview your report, you will see that the picture prints in both the first Group Header and the following few Body sections, next to (instead of above) the text in the body of the report.

    Note: Using the technique of placing a picture to the right of the body of the report, you can set up a chart or an employee picture to print beside the details pertaining to that chart or employee.
  3. In the Crystal Reports editor, resize the picture vertically to make it two or three times larger, then preview the report again.
    The image file now underlays more sections.
The area in which the picture underlays depends on the following conditions:
  • The size of the picture.
  • The section in which the picture was originally placed.
  • The position of the picture in the section.
By modifying size and placement of an object, you can create a variety of visual effects, using the underlay feature.
