  1. PORuby on Rails reporting tools?
    text
    copied!<p>I am looking for a report generation tool in ruby or rails which allows the user to define a template, then fetch data into the created template.</p> <p>I have been looking through "<a href="https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/categories/reporting.html" rel="nofollow">The Ruby Box: reporting section.</a>"</p> <p>There are two reporting tools I have looked at:</p> <ol> <li><p><strong><a href="http://www.thinreports.org/" rel="nofollow">Thin Reports</a>:</strong> It is really good. You can create your own report template with the template editor. Then you can produce PDF reports using <a href="http://rubygems.org/gems/thinreports/" rel="nofollow">thinreports</a> gems.</p></li> <li><p><strong><a href="https://github.com/sandrods/odf-report" rel="nofollow">ODF Report:</a></strong> You can create a template ODF file using Open Office and MS Word, and you can use that template to generate the report.</p></li> </ol> <p>Both of these solutions lack the ability to draw charts. Does anyone know of similar reporting tools that can draw charts within a given report?</p> <p>I have tried the <a href="http://ruby-rtf.rubyforge.org/" rel="nofollow">RTF Ruby Library</a>. It works, but shares the limitation that it cannot draw charts and graphs. </p> <p>The minimum requirements are:</p> <ol> <li><p>Able to create customizable templates. (e.g. design layout, set font size, color, embed images etc.)</p></li> <li><p>Able to draw tables and charts.</p></li> <li><p>Template could be in Docx or excel or xml or any other common file format.</p></li> <li><p>Report output report must be in Docx or RTF format.</p></li> </ol> <p>Thanks</p>
