GnuCash is generally immune to bash scripts as the only command line argument
that does anything separate from the GUI is --get-online-prices. One could
script something in Python, but that would involve a lot of low-level work to
load a session, find the relevant splits, total them, and format a report.
All graph reports have a "Show table" option on the Display page of report
options. It adds an HTML table below the graph that you can copy and paste into
a spreadsheet.
