i'm using FOP for our reporting tools, thanks to FOP we can make a nice looking PDF-File.
I need to generate not only tables or text, but also some
charts/diagramms ( like pie chart, gantt , etc)
and this charts should be embeded in the pdf, as a graphic format (
like SVG or JPEG )
Does anyone have any idea how to do these things ? somekind of library
maybe ?
thanks in advance
With FO rendering, you'd have basically two routes to choose from. Your charts and diagrams could be external files that you would refer to in the FO markup with fo:external-graphic. Or you could try embedding them with fo:instream-foreign-object. This works for SVG, but I'm not sure if its a good option for other formats.
As for creating the contents of those charts and diagrams, that is a whole other issue.
