So far, we’ve explored the mechanics of generating both simple and hierarchical reports. Now, let’s improve the presentation of these reports.
The visual characteristics of a report are controlled primarily through the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) classes. Many of the elements in Logi Report support one or more class attributes to control the presentation of the element.
Hint: When possible use CSS classes to control the presentation of the report, instead of attributes. This allows a more consistent, maintainable presentation across all reports.
It’s not practical to cover all the aspects of cascading style sheets in this book. Instead, we’ll learn how to control the presentation through practical examples (ala cookbook style).
Hint: For an excellent introduction to Cascading Style Sheets review the free online training materials at http://www.w3schools.com/.
