	Creating Landscape Orientation Report Templates		Documented by Sanda Zaharia

	Description / Goal	How to create landscape orientation reports.
	Since	0.1.0

	This feature is used when a report should be visualized or printed in the `Landscape` page layout. A page is considered to be in a `Landscape` orientation when its width and height appear as interchanged. In order to manage its pages layout, the `<jasperReport />` element contains the `orientation` attribute. Values allowed for this attribute are: `Portrait` `Landscape` By default, in JasperReports pages are visualized as `Portrait`. The `orientation` being an attribute at report level, its value applies to all pages in the generated document. Below is a code snippet showing how to set in a report the `Landscape` orientation: <jasperReport xmlns="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd" name="LandscapeReport" pageWidth="842" pageHeight="595" orientation="Landscape" columnWidth="842" leftMargin="0" rightMargin="0" topMargin="0" bottomMargin="0"> Here one can observe that `pageWidth` and `pageHeight` values were interchanged and the `orientation` attribute takes the `Landscape` value. Running the Sample Running the sample requires the Apache Ant library. Make sure that `ant` is already installed on your system (version 1.5 or later). In a command prompt/terminal window set the current folder to `demo/samples/landscape` within the JasperReports source project and run the `> ant test view` command. It will generate all supported document types containing the sample report in the `demo/samples/landscape/build/reports` directory. Then the report will open in the JasperReports internal viewer.
