Embedding Dundas Chart Pro Charts in RS

This there a way to integrate the full version of Dundas Chart Pro in RS reports by using the extensibility API?
Including a URL accessed image of a Dundas Chart doesn't cut it if the rendering is to be done by PDF - my experence is showing that the image will be heavily pixelated.
TIA
JeffNot yet. I expect the Yukon version to support extensibility.

elongated or oval pie charts

I've designed a report that has 2 pie charts side by side. The report
size is 11 x 8.5 (landscape). The pie charts reside in their own
respective tables. The problem is that when I preview or save the
report as a pdf, the pie charts are elongated or oval shaped. The
height/width settings for each table cell are the same, i.e.
proportionate. I can't think of anything else that would cause this
problem.
Has anyone seen this and if so do you have a solution?Are you using 3D pie charts with a vertical rotation? That's the only case
where you would get oval shaped pie charts. The size of the chart does not
change at runtime - you should see the same behavior in Layout mode,
Preview, and all output formats - not sure why you see this only in Preview
and PDF. Probably I'm missing something, but turning off 3D or changing the
vertical rotation to 0 degrees will results in pie charts drawn as circles.

Actually, what was causing the elongated pie was the fact that I had
it nested in a table with a legend that I created manually. The table
would grow or shrink depending on the amount of series showing up in
the legend. Basically, it's an Asset Allocation table with a pie chart
and a legend. The legend would get taller the more assets that were in
a portfolio. As a result, the taller the legend, the taller the table.
When the legend grew taller than the pie it caused the pie to become
elongated. So I placed the legend and pie chart in 2 seperate tables
and problem solved.
