[Qgis-developer] Ideas/proposal for Attribute Table

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi Luca,

the need to create some kind of reports is often uttered. IMHO a 
dedicated reporting tool can always handle this better than anything 
implemented in QGIS or any other GIS (because it is not a main GIS 
feature). I successfully coupled a Python implementation of 
JasperReports [1] with QGIS. JasperReports not only allows sum/average 
and the like but also subreports (for ?:n relations) charts and much 
more. AFAIK (but have not tried myself) LibreOffice output is possible, 
too. This solution needs some Python programming to create an XML 
document from your data and send the data and the report template to the 
server.
