Description

Its great to have SVG support. Would be great if SVG's "survived" into Jasper Reports. Currently, AFAICT, views are rendered to medium resolution images before/during report generation.

I believe (but have no actual experience) that Jasper can work with SVGs, from reading here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4657238/jasperreport-scales-images-when-exporting-to-pdf-thus-losing-quality .

Research direction

Start by tracing how views are rendered and passed into Jasper Reports during report generation, then verify Jasper's SVG support using the linked reference. Done means SVG-based views survive report creation as vector graphics rather than being converted to medium-resolution images.
