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.
