Hi,

In report module I would like to add or delete a pen in my timeseries chart by script.

No, the only place you can add scripts to a report is within the "Data" section, and pens cannot be added there.

Charts in the report module allow a `configureChart` script to run. Those scripts can do anything the JFreeChart API permits. Very similar to using `configureChart` scripts in Vision. I would expect you to be able to hide pens dynamically. Maybe not create them.

Many, many possibilities:
