Hello! I've just encountered an odd problem with visualization of charts.
This is the code in my Java servlet class that runs the report:
this.birtReportEngine = BirtEngine.getBirtEngine(sc);
IReportRunnable design;

try
{
	design = birtReportEngine.openReportDesign( reportPathName );
	
	//create task to run and render report
	IRunAndRenderTask task = birtReportEngine.createRunAndRenderTask( design );		
	
	// SET PARAMETERS
	task.setParameterValue("Years", numOfYears);
	task.setParameterValue("Agent", usercode);
	
	//set output options
	HTMLRenderOption options = new HTMLRenderOption();
	options.setImageHandler( new HTMLServerImageHandler() );
	options.setImageDirectory( sc.getRealPath("/images"));
	options.setBaseImageURL( req.getContextPath() + "/images" );
	options.setOutputFormat(HTMLRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_HTML);
	options.setEmbeddable(true);
	options.setOutputStream(resp.getOutputStream());
	task.setRenderOption(options);				
	//run report
	task.run();
	task.close();
}catch (Exception e){
	System.out.println("DynamicReport: error " + e.getMessage());				
	e.printStackTrace();
	throw new ServletException( e );
}

Our problem is that, when report is printed on the HTML page, charts take a strange behaviour: often (not always!) they appear with scrollbars, even if they aren't necessary, or they appear with the bottom and right parts cut...
This occurs running it in Firefox.
With Internet Explorer the result it's even worse: charts doesn't appear at all...

Someone has an hint? Maybe could be the embeddable property that causes so?
Many thanks!

What output format are you using for the charts? Are they set to SVG?
Are you setting the supported image formats in the options?
options.setSupportedImageFormats( "PNG;GIF;JPG;BMP" );

Is the chart in a container object like a grid? If so as a test can you put it in the report body by itself?
