band

Defines a sub-band within an other band i.e. group header, report footer, etc. This can be used to group objects and to trigger the visibility or change the style of the whole group using a single operation. Bands can have their own layout manager attached, which is also the only way to stack dynamic elements below each other in a safe way.
