Description Antti Karanta CLA 2007-04-11 01:25:36 EDT 
It would be nice to be able to place headers and footers on a landscape page along the short edge of the paper (like they are on a portrait page). 

More explanation and a clarifying picture is to be found in this birt newsgroup post:

Do we need to support this?

> Do we need to support this?

I asked in the birt newsgroup whether this is possible and Jason Weathersby suggested I post an enhancement request: "BIRT currently does not support this, but this would be a great enhancement request."

So I guess at least he likes the idea. = )

add the plan key word for future release consideration.  Also +1 for this feature.  

How about add another page setting as landscape-content   that only put the content area in landscape orientation.

Need report engine to evaluate if this can be supported.
Comment 5 Wei Yan CLA 2009-05-18 02:02:29 EDT 
defer to 2.5.2 for resource issue.
Comment 6 Wenfeng Li CLA 2009-09-16 19:44:34 EDT 
schedule to 2.6 to allow more time to work on this enhancement.
