Specifying your own drawing rendering class

In paginated reports, you can use the handler property in the <panel /> tag to override the default class that renders drawings and title block elements within the report.

Example:

<panel handler=
"com.archibus.app.solution.common.report.docx.CustomDrawingPanelBuilder">.
If you specify a handler for a drawing panel (<panel type=”drawing”>), your Java class must inherit from 
com.archibus.ext.report.docx.drawinghighlight.DrawingPanelBuilder.

If you override the default processDrawingHighlight() method, you can insert highlighted drawing images into a specific text box within your document template, and you can update template macros with values extracted from the database.

@Override public void processDrawingHighlight (final int leftIndent, final String drawingName,
	final String drawingTitle, final HighlightedImageResult imageResult)
	throws ExceptionBase {

   processReport (imageResult, drawingTitle);
}

If you override the default method processLegend() , you can insert your own format for the drawing legend into a specific text box within your document template.

@Override
public void processLegend (final PanelBuilderBase legendPBuilder, final Report report,
	final java.util.List<DataSourceParameter> parameters, final int leftIndent,
	final int level) throws ExceptionBase {
   final TablePanelBuilderBase 1Builder = (TablePanelBuilderBase)  legendPBuilder;
   
   final com.aspose.words.Document doc = this.getReport().getDocument();
   
   final int recordIndex = this.getDwgNames().size() - 1;
   
   final Body body = doc.getSections().get(recordIndex).getBody();
   {
	final Shape legendShap = getTextBoxShape (body, >LEGENDTABLE");
	final Table table = new Table (doc);
        legendShap.removeAllChildren();  
        legendShap.appendChild(table);

        lBuilder.setDocxTable (table, doc);

        lBuilder.build (report, parameters, leftIndent, level);
   }
}
