Copy image in Reports / Multicolumn reports problems

[Carsten Rinke]

Hi Johnny,

regarding the copy/paste it might be worth trying to export the report 
first and open it with a web browser, the copy/paste from there.

For the multi-column reports there are some bugs open for it:

"When you have a mix of chart types (bar charts and pie charts) then the 
pie charts do not work if the last chart is a bar chart"
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704525
This one was found on 2.5.x and might get resolved with 2.6 (work ongoing)

"Multicolumn report does not show more than one graph"
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638971
This one is fixed but it is still to be released with 2.6.

As far as I understand, starting with 2.5.x Gnuplot will be replaced jqplot.
So if you want to dig into it, start with 2.5.x.

And for myself I can say that new reports in the area of statistics are 
highly welcome :-)

To get up and running for report writing look at

Enjoy,
Carsten
