I don't think ANY type of argument coming from a temporary worker in a third or fourth level branch of a multinational company will make ANY impression on anyone, especially not the ones in charge of deciding which software may be used and which one not. Graphics has just been completely incorporated in Reports instead of being a separate tool, so the 'unsupported' argument won't really work, not here..... I see dark times ahead.

Guess the users will have to live with a partial graph, then. Or else I'll have to work out a way of having the picture create as jpeg and the added to the Report, all during RunTime.

Where's that whisky?!?
