Hi Stefan,
I thought of doing something like that but that would require
duplicating some logic on the backend (in C++) which is already on the
browser side (in javascript) to generate the report. I am most likely
going to be going that route in the future but I was hoping to avoid
doing this initially as it would require more time than I really have to
work on this app.
Thanks
Eric
