John,

The chart reports include an option on the Display tab, Show table, which will 
include the data table. Checking that option displays the data upon which the 
chart is built. Then you can copy and paste those data directly into your 
spreadsheet.

OK.  How about scripting this?  Has anyone made a bash script to generate a 
data report, then
process it into a chart, and save to a file?

When you say "include a data table" I'm lost.  It would not be part of a chart, 
so included in what?
Generating a data table, (which to me means name:value pairs from an expense 
report would be great.  I could bar chart it with any 
tool.   I don't need the structure of the account levels in gnucash, just 
choosing which accounts, (or placeholdler aggregating 
accounts) to bar-chart, then being able to set the appearance details in an 
outside program is all I am wanting.

The quickest path to a custom chart is to run the report to get the data you 
want, and then copy/paste to a spreadsheet and use the charting features there. 
I think most if not all charts in GnuCash have an option to include a data 
table that you can use as well.

Regards,
Adrien

Does anyone have a readable bar chart report to share?  The default puts the legend in tiny type, and the dates along the bottom 
of the page instead of next to the bottom of the bars of the chart.
