For generation of technical reports, it's extremely useful to be able to render charts to a static version and embed them into a PDF using LaTeX.
Without doing this, we can't make reports downloadable (currently, reports are HTML only, and although they could be downloaded, they'd need a local server so the viewer would need some significant technical expertise).
Proposed solution
Need to add a builder specifically to generate static chart image at build time then invoke it as an alternative to the html builders here
