TurboReport makes report creation simple!

Reports are created using two types of functions:

Standard functions (eg writeText, writeImage, writeLine, writeTable .....)
You can use these functions to create elements on a page. TurboReport places your new element directly under the last element. (You can seperate elements when needed by using writeBreak to insert empty lines.) By default, you do not need to handle y coordinates. Just call the function, and supply parameters such as color, fontsize, text, image ... When a page becomes full, TurboReport will automatically begin a new page. If your text contains an 'end of line', TurboReport will wrap it automatically. If your image is too big, TurboReport will resize it. If a table cell is to small, TurboReport can support multilines within tables too, by wrapping words inside a cell when needed. Turbo report can even handle a table which spans 2 or more pages.

Co-Ordinate Functions (eg writeTextXY or writeImageXY)
You can use these functions to place elements at an exact position (X, Y). You can query the coordinates of the last normal function , to allow for precise relative positioning. When you are finished with XY functions and wish to continue with standard functions, you can call a simple function to switch placement control back to TurboReport. After which, new elements will be placed under your previous element.


With these two types of functions you can create many types of reports. And TurboReport also has a very powerful table function which makes tables easy!.
