Sooner or later your applications need to create some sort of visualization of the data they handle. RAD Studio users already get a bundled version of the TChart graphing component so you can easily produce pie, bar ,and line graphs. Our rich eco-system of technology partners also provide a number of different takes on report writers and generators ranging from spreadsheet-based generators thru PDF creators to banded reporting tools.
Reporting and Visualization 101 – in case you’ve been living under a rock
Reporting and visualization tools include generalized reporting in the style of a typed document, decision-making pivot tables, and market analysis graphing. It’s really about translating raw data into marshalled, organized, hard-copy to make it more ‘human friendly’. But then you knew that already, didn’t you?
Name your price
Prices for reporting tools vary quite widely from under $100 US to several thousand. Or..free… as is the case with FortesReport.
What is FortesReport?
FortesReport is a powerful report generator available as a package of components for Delphi developers. In FortesReport, the reports are composed of bands that have specific functions in the print stream.

uses ufrmReport, ufrmReportImagem; {$R *.dfm} procedure TfrmPrincipal.btnRelatorioImagemClick(Sender: TObject); begin if OpenPictureDialog1.Execute then begin frmReportImagem.RLImage1.Picture.LoadFromFile(OpenPictureDialog1.FileName); frmReportImagem.RLReport1.Preview(); end; end; procedure TfrmPrincipal.btnRelatorioTextoClick(Sender: TObject); begin if OpenDialog1.Execute then begin frmReport.rlmmTexto.Lines.LoadFromFile(OpenDialog1.FileName); frmreport.RLReport1.Preview(); end; end; |
You can define groupings, sublevels, and totals simply by the hierarchical relationship between bands. Moreover, the FortesReport has a rich palette of components for text, charts, formulas, bar codes, filters, and layout.
The repository also has several demo applications so you can see it in action for yourself.
