I had a poke around and couldn't find any API documentation. If you can find this someone could give a more considered opinion.
If you store your data in a relational database, perhaps you could use a third party report generator like Pentaho or JasperReports[1]. I believe these are designed to be bolted on to applications, so perhaps they'll have a more accessible API. From Pharo you should be able to use a REST based API [2] of Pentaho. It apparently does band reports [3]. [1] http://www.innoventsolutions.com/comparison-matrix.html [2] https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/6.0/0R0/070 [3] http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/Reporting/band Disclaimer - This is just info I found for curiosity. I haven't used any of these. cheers -ben P.S. Band reports features like the table in [1] would be a great addition to the Pharo ecosystem.
