1. Full chart support is not yet implemented in iReport, it will be for this summer.

There are several ways to create a chart, one of this is using scriptlet, or prepare your chart in your program and pass it to the report.

The basic idea is that a chart is an image, so make a chart is equal than create a image using a charting engine and display it in the reports.

As I have yet said, to create this image you must collect data, and to collect data you can use scriptlet.

 

2. "if for prompting" is a flag declared by jasperreports, and we have added it to be full compliant with jasperreports specifications.

But this don't means that iReport ask really for this value when run a report...

This could be a suggestion for a new feature, anyway, for now, you can put your value in the Initial value field for the parameter.
