Enterprise reporting design shortcomingsPoor in-report logic.Not a best practice but most of the times inevitable!Ugly defaults.Please, check out Tufte books.Simple plots.Sometimes you need statistical or more complex plots.Regular users should be able to create their own reports. Really?

Brew The dumbest example example.brew <% x <- 2 %> Good morning. Today the kilo oranges is priced at <%= x %> euros. R> brew(“example.brew”, “example.txt”) example.txt Good morning. Today the kilo oranges is priced at 2 euros.

Brew Precomputing things before example.R x <- 2 save(x, file= “data.Rdata”) example.brew <% load(“data.Rdata”) %> Good morning. Today the kilo oranges is priced at <%= x %> euros. R> brew(“example.brew”, “example.txt”) example.txt Good morning. Today the kilo oranges is priced at 2 euros.

Brew Smart templates example.R x <- 2 save(x, file= “data.Rdata”) example.brew <% load(“data.Rdata”) %> Good morning. Today the kilo oranges is priced at <%= x %> euros. <% if x > 1 %> That’s f***ing expensive! <% end %> R> brew(“example.brew”, “example.txt”) example.txt Good morning. Today the kilo oranges is priced at 2 euros. That’s f***ing expensive!

Brew + latex example.brew begin{document} Today the kilo oranges $rightarrow$ <%= x %> euros. end{document} R> brew(“example.brew”, “example.tex”) example.tex begin{document} Today the kilo oranges $rightarrow$ 2 euros. end{document} R> texi2dvi(“example.tex”, pdf=TRUE) example.pdf Today the kilo oranges ! 2 euros.

The alternative stack R selects DB data Datawharehouse Datawharehouse RJDBC, RMySQL, etc. R computes results and Data analysis R script plots. Latex brew template loads Report template Brew latex template results and plots and generate template file PDF report is generated Report Report from the tex file Rep Rep Rep Rep Rep Rep
