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.
