Hi,
I am new to BIRT and trying to generate a report. I tried to generate a report in XLS format, but my charts and graphs are not getting displayed in the Excel report. I tried searching the reason for it and looks like the Excel emitters provided by BIRT do not support charts and graphs. I have few queries :
1) Could someone please confirm that my understanding is correct .
2) Is this still a limitation even with the latest version of BIRT. What is the reason for this limitation (I ask this as the discussions that I found about this were pretty old dated ..around 2010,2011)
3) Is it possible to render the charts and graphs by using some Event Handlers written in java/javascript which will be trigerred on 'onRender' events.
4) What is the suggested way to handle such scenarios ? Is using other open source Excel emitters the suggested way? If yes then which of the Excel emitters available should be used.
I will be really thankful if someone can please help me find answers to these questions.
Thanks in advance

It's simply a plug-in for a past plug-in contest, but the author has been good about fixing problems if they're reported. There are other solutions, as well, like moving up to BDPro, as mentioned above, and I believe there is at least one pay-for emitter out there, for Eclipse BIRT.
