These things would be provided by modifying how we call libgoffice, which provides the actual plotting. The primary binding code between gnucash and goffice is in src/gnome-utils/gnc-html-graph-gog.c. The interface between the reports and that code is through a couple of levels… The report (scm code) will emit an <object> tag with <param> tags for the various parameters. See src/report/report-system/html-barchart.scm. GtkHtml is configured for <object> tags (with a particular class-id) to be handled by the aforementioned gnc-html-graph-gog code. It then parses the params/data, and converts it into goffice's interface, and renders the report into a pixmap. The pixmap is then returned to GtkHtml as the rendering of the <object> tag. > I don't know anything about scheme, guile, and extremely little about html, > and before continuing my research, I would like to get directions and > suggestions from the experts. > > Where to start from? Do I have to dig into scheme? Shall I create a custom > report or change something in the stylesheet? - Make sure you know what's supported by goffice, and the details of what it needs (for, say, labels on chart segments). - Modify the pie/bar-chart generator code for those new parameters. - Modify the gnc-html-graph-gog code for those new parameters. - Modify the reports to use the new pie/bar-chart generator code. We're here and happy to help if you have any questions. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
