I’ve been playing around more with openoffice.org’s uno api for making reports. Since I’ll be making more updates I’ll just post a link to the Google Code site
My latest improvement is supporting tables. It’s probably best to just show what it does.
Now a user could just download the report, change fonts, layout, etc, and reupload it. It does have it’s limitations and is a work in progress but it’s already pretty cool. As a developer I can just define what variables can be used and let someone else make the report (and change it around later). To use it you just have to make the proper data structures, so really this could be ported to any data driven application, not just Django.
