Working with Charts

The Chart element in the Palette view lets you easily add charts to your reports. In Jaspersoft Studio you can render charts inside a report two different ways. You can use the data coming from the main dataset or use a subdataset. This allows you to include many different charts in one document without using subreports.

When you generate a report, chart data is collected and stored within the chart's dataset.

The chart types are:

Pie
Category
Time period
Time series
XY
XYZ
High low
Value
