Tom,

This brings us full circle back to where I started and why I asked the
question.  The Base Handbook says:

Note
The creation of charts works at present only in Versions 3.3.x and
3.4.x. From Version 3.5, LibreOffice can no longer open these reports.
They can still be produced, however.
LibreOffice is not the only program to have problems with charts. In
Version 3.3 of OpenOffice.org, the display does not work either.
OpenOffice.org does open the reports, but with the charts missing.

So, I'm back to where we started.  I have ver. 4.1.3.2, and I know
there is a new version in the works for later July.  Will I be able to
use the report facility to build charts based on the data form the
query?  If so, how?

Dave,

Hi :)
This handbook and the guide might help
[3]https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Libre
Office_Base_Handbook
and the Faq
[4]https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Base
They might mainly cover the simplest cases, of using just the in-built
stuff but hopefully gives enough indication of how to use Base
properly.

It is difficult for people to understand even the basics so
documentation is a big challenge.
Regards from
Tom :)

  Yes, I have used charts in Calc.  However, it looks like Charts is
  being pulled out as a new module, not just in Calc.

  Dave,
  The charts/diagrams have been around for a long time. You can insert
  one on a spreadsheet by going to the Insert menu then selecting
  Charts.
  Best,
  Charles.

I just went to the LO page and see they have a module called Charts.  I
have 4.1, but the Charts module is not included, so my guess is that it
is part of the new release next month.  Anyway, does anyone familiar
with Charts think that this may be an answer?

  What I want to be able to do is (for now) have a pdf report that
  shows
  the statistics (records, averages, deviations) and charts that show
  up
  to four variables on the same axis. So the first question is can I
  do
  that with Base and Calc? This needs to be automated so that each day
  I
  run a report on the current data and get the report. I have no
  problem
  with using LO scripting language if needed, I just need to know that

    this can be done and general ly how.

  If the answer is that it can't be done, or would require extensive
  work,
  then waht are the alternatives? I looked at MariaDb, but did not see
  any built-in tools to do what I want. As I mentioned in the original
  post, I'm fine with using Base and an external program like R if it
  can
  produce waht I want.
  Dave,
