3D charts and FOP 1.0
We are generating PDF reports by retrieving data in XML format from Oracle
(11gR2) database. Java Servlet generates the PDF using the XML data and
XSLT.
I would like to know fop-user's experience in generating 3D charts with
XSL-FO.
Did you use SVG to generate 3D charts? Any other option?
What were the technical issues related to generating 3D charts and
including them in PDF report?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Jayant,
I have used FOP previously to generate reports from a MySQL database,
but I found it easier and aesthetically pleasing to use a JDBC module
to gather the data points, then GNUPlot to generate the picture and
reference the picture in the XSLT to generate the PDF. The reports
were customer facing documents and that seemed the easiest way to
create professional looking reports.
No doubt others in the community have better methods, but that's my
tuppence worth.

Hi, I played with "graph2svg" library (made by Jakub Vojtisek) some time ago. It could be found on "http://graph2svg.jinak.cz/examples_en.html". It supports also 3D graphs (although, I do not prefere 3D ones) and its advatnage is, that SVG is created from XML using XSL-T 2.0, no Java external code (version of Saxon with support of some extension is required, afaik - so You have to use older Saxon B or newer SaxonPE, I guess). Newer version of this library is maintained on "http://www.dpawson.co.uk/graph2svg/" by Dave Pawson. Stepan

I use SVG for 2D charts.
There is also a free Java library called JFreeChart which also claims to
do 3D charts.
