Hi Tim,

I found a workaround for the border problem. I put my chart in a rectangle. The advantage of a rectangle is that you can set the top, bottom, right, left border properties separately. I set the border properties as I desire and then put the rectangle inline of my table. Et voila!!! It results in a graceful score card table.

Hi Tim,

Really nice post. It helped me a lot till now. I'm struggling with 2 things right now:

1. the borders

You wrote: "One of the quirks of any inline chart is that it overrides the border of the cell it's placed in so you need to set the border for the GaugePanel to the same as your cell borders." I have the impression that the sentence misses one word between "same" and "as". My header has got one bottom border. When I add the scale into my header, this bottom border is overriden but when I add border to my gauge, it adds a border bottom, top, right and left. Not really the effect that I want. Too much borders. Not nice.

2. the scale font size

Putting the scale in the header as you advise is really nice. the problem of the inline scale is that the font size is too small. I sized it bigger (40pt) but the result is not really nice on the report.

Any idea's?

thanks in advance. Keep up the good job.
