In my previous post we discussed how to Integrate the Charts into Jasper Reports  using JFreeChart API in Jasper Report. In this post there is another way to embeds the charts into Jasper Reports. This method, we need to generate/create the chart using any 3rd party Java Lib and convert into Image Object or stored into File-system, then just insert the Image into Jasper Report. here no need to use chart functionality in Jasper Report. because these chart are limited functionality. Steps: Create the chart using any Java libraries Convert the Chart into BufferedImage or Stored into files pass the Image into Jasper Report. 1. Create the chart using any Java libraries      In this step we going to create the chart. here i m using jopenchart Java library to create the chart. In their website tutorial section contain some sample codes. so i used these codes. and download the jopenchart lib from here . 2. Convert the chart into BufferedImage or Stored into files     In jop

In this post we will walk through how to integrate Charts (JFreeChart) into Jasper Report framework. JasperReports is the world's most popular open source reporting engine. It is entirely written in Java and it is able to use data coming from any kind of data source and produce pixel-perfect documents that can be viewed, printed or exported in a variety of document formats including HTML, PDF, Xlsx, Docx, Pptx, Odf Check my  Introduction to Jasper Reports and  Sub-report with jasper Report posts. 2-ways to Integrate the Charts/Graphs into Jasper Reports Use JFreeChart API inside Jasper Report to generate the Charts while generating reports Use any 3rd party Java Libraries to create the chart and stored in In-memory Image object (or) stored in file. then pass the Image/file to Jasper Report. then embed the Image into Report. (check here ) In this post we going to use 1st option. In Jasper Report use JFreeChart Components to make charts. In my next post we will see the
