Is it possible to create a power bi report using programming language?

Is it possible to create report with programing? Such as insert a scatter plot using some data and set parameters rather than using power bi desktop menus?

Hello @SRPSnowBird ,

You can build using R, check https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-r-visuals

You can build using Python, check https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-python-visuals

Thanks for your answer.

But I guess that I was not clear in the post. My question was: 

Is it possible to create power bi report using program language to manipulate build-in visuals. Such as insert a scatter plot in the report with certain columns of a table and then specify dimensions, color, font, titles and etcs?

@Idrissshatila was quite correct in providing the content and context that he did.   R and Python are available.   You can create Theme files as .json that would control the look and visual fit on Canvas.    The native languages are powerquery-m for ETL, and DAX for calculations. 

A previous Microsoft Community Forum "Change pbix data source programmatically" that is aged offers background on what the PBIX container is, and some ways to manipulate it.  

 Please clarify and add context to what platform and language you have in mind.
