Generating reports that have charts ....

Question

Hello,
I have a requirement where I need to automatically generate say database usage (tablespace size - used or free etc) and mail it to a customer.
I have been able to schedule the built in database usage report and it is getting emailed.But it is totally flat and there are no charts inside...is there any way to graphically convey this information that is being generated via say a bar chart or a pie chart some thing like that....
thanks,
S.

Frank,
I was looking at the agent logs and traces.
This is portion of emagent.trc

The environment variable for the agent10g is for NLS_LANG is
export NLS_LANG="*BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252*"
I checked the database character set and it is
SQL> SELECT value$ FROM sys.props$ WHERE name = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET' ;
VALUE$
WE8MSWIN1252
SQL>
I think the agent is not able to connect to the database or is able to connect but unable to get data from the database , so basically nothing is getting uploaded to OMS.
