Bands

The band is an object which is located directly on the report page and is a container for other objects like "Text", "Picture" and others.

In all, in FastReport there are 13 types of bands. Depending on its type, the band is printed in a certain place in the report.

Band	How it's printed
Report Title	It is printed once at the very beginning of the report. You can choose the order of printing - before the "Page Header" band or after it - with the help of the TitleBeforeHeader page property. Changing this property can be done with the help of "Properties" window. By default, property is equal to true, that is, report title is printed before page header.

Page Header	It is printed on top of every page of the report.
Page Footer	It is printed at the bottom of every page of the report.
