What do you have so far? Some xslt I suppose? Some xml as well? And charts as png... ? — Jan, Dec 19 '15 at 15:29
@Jan Thank you for your reply. I don't know how to write xslt for that one. XML I ll edit the question & add it — Manikanta Reddy, Dec 19 '15 at 15:46
Then maybe you dont want to start fop at all and chose an easier way like itext to make your pdf. — Jan, Dec 19 '15 at 15:47
Thank you for your suggestion. But I am not allowed to use itextpdf. — Manikanta Reddy, Dec 19 '15 at 15:49
Not allowed because this is an assignment or because of legal issues? There might still be an (old) LGPL version of itext around — Jan, Dec 19 '15 at 15:50
Using FOP I have generated tables & all. But the end of the table using above xml i have to generate graph. — Manikanta Reddy, Dec 19 '15 at 15:50
Ah. Okay. I suggest creating the chart elsewhere, store it as image and put that image in pdf with fop — Jan, Dec 19 '15 at 15:51
no no. we have some licensing issue with the itextpdf. even though it is free — Manikanta Reddy, Dec 19 '15 at 15:51
could you please give an example of creating image graphs in java — Manikanta Reddy, Dec 19 '15 at 15:52

Once you managed to create a nice chart using any chart library you like ( like JFreeChart or similar), check out these examples from the Apache FOP website on how to embed the generated image into your pdf:

<fo:block>
The image (
  <fo:external-graphic content-width="100pt" content-height="50pt" scaling="non-uniform" src="images/fop.jpg"/>
) has non-uniform scaling.
</fo:block>

<fo:block>
The image (
<fo:external-graphic content-width="50pt" content-height="100pt" scaling="non-uniform" src="images/fop.jpg"/>
) has non-uniform scaling.
</fo:block>

<fo:block>
The image (
<fo:external-graphic content-width="100pt" content-height="75pt" scaling="uniform" src="images/fop.jpg"/>
) has uniform scaling.
</fo:block>

<fo:block>
The image (
<fo:external-graphic content-width="75pt" content-height="100pt" scaling="uniform" src="images/fop.jpg"/>
) has uniform scaling.
</fo:block>

<fo:block>
The image (
<fo:external-graphic width="75pt" height="100pt" content-width="scale-to-fit" content-height="scale-to-fit" src="images/fop.jpg"/>
) is scaled to fit the viewport.
</fo:block>

Thank you @Jan I ll try to use this & let u know. – Manikanta Reddy Dec 19 '15 at 16:20 — Manikanta Reddy, Dec 19 '15 at 16:20
