This is one reason why we're doing reports in Jasper using the
jasper_reports module when we can. The layout flexibility is very strong and
you can make very nice visual reports (invoice, etc), and even business
intelligence reports with embedded flash. We encourage everyone to check out
some of the capabilities of iReport as a designer. (It is used by OpenBravo,
OpenTaps, etc).
There are some areas where additional development is needed to improve the
interface between OpenERP and iReports, but it does work. We have it working
on v6 as well.
