I have a client who is happy with Telerik apart from the fact that the charts are rendered as images - this means there is no mouse hover functionality available.
Is it possible to render the charts as SVG or Canvas? If not, is it possible and/or feasible to embed Google charts into the report. I noticed that there is an HtmlTextbox control that in theory I could use.

Hello Julian,
The current chart item in Telerik Reports is rendered as an image in all formats. You can use external chart component if desired, but the only way to display it in a report would be via the PictureBox report item, which naturally expects image formats supported by GDI+ (BMP, GIF, JPEG, EXIF, PNG and TIFF).

I've performed a proof of concept to show that it is indeed possible to embed a google chart into a report using the htmltextbox element.
I did this with predefined data. The hard part is parsing the report definition to determine what charts are contained in the report, what type are they (pie, bar) and the data that is used.
I've no idea if this is feasible...
