Insert an image into the form

JasperReports accepts GIF, PNG and JPEG as well as vector graphics as SVG (without embedded raster graphics). Drag the Image tool onto the canvas and pick the file (set the filter to „All files“ if needed).

Image element in Jaspersoft Studio.

Key properties

Property	Values
Scale Image	Retain Shape (aspect ratio, default) · Fill Frame (fills area, may distort).
On Error Type	Error (throw, default) · Blank (nothing) · Icon (placeholder).
Rotation	None · Left (−90°) · Right (90°) · UpsideDown (180°).

Provide the image in Nuclos

Nuclos embeds the image at runtime by file/image name. Upload it under Configuration → Others → Resource.

Don't forget

The new resource must be assigned to the nuclet – otherwise the report reports that the image cannot be found.

Images from report data (dynamic)

To show images from the database:

Create a field referencing the image (e.g. User_Photo).
Set the field Class to java.io.InputStream.
In the Image tab open the expression editor and set the field as the Image Expression.
