  • Report writer for Libreoffice Base

    From Dave@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 29 13:21:51 2020
    Does anyone know of some good reporting software that can produce
    reports for Base? It needs to run under Linux, and have the ability to
    include graphics. I can also use csv input if needed.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    The report tool inside Base is not good enough?

    I have no experience with any of these products but:
    * NetBeans + iReport + JasperReport
    * Eclipse + BIRT

    There are a couple of problems. One is the level of the documentation - version 4. The other is it does not appear that it will do what I want,
    which is to produce charts of some of the data. That may be a
    documentation issue though.

    iReport should be able to do it per:
