''Chart2'' is a sub-project of the [http://graphics.openoffice.org/chart/chart.html OpenOffice.org Chart Project]. Our goal is to develop a new Chart component for (presumably) OOo 2.6.
+
{{ChartQuickLinks}}
  
 +
The Chart module was exchanged completely on the way to OpenOffice.org 2.3.
 +
This is the basis for further enhancements and long awaited features.
  
−
Charts are used for visualizing data sets from e.g. spreadsheets by two and three dimensional diagrams. There are a lot of different two- and three-dimensional chart types you can choose from. This page gathers information about the new chart implementation of OpenOffice.org. It is especially written to help new comers to the process of developping in the new OOo chart module.
+
This page documents ongoing work, implemented and still missing features. It also links to further useful information around the chart.
  
−
If you would like to participate, if you have comments or questions related to the chart you are welcome on the graphics mailinglists:  (users,dev,features,bugs,cvs)@graphics.openoffice.org. See also the section at the bottom of this page called [Some useful information].

−
The first step anyone need to achieve before starting to develop on the chart module
+
=== Development ===
−
is compiling OpenOffice.org with the needed modifications for the new chart module.
 
−
OpenOffice.org provides two main ways to compile it : the "Vanilla" way and the
 
−
"OOoBuild" way. Let's explain what they are and the differences between those two
 
−
ways.
 
  
−
=== Compiling OpenOffice.org : the theory ===
+
If you are new to OpenOffice.org development have a look at the more general pages first:
 +
*[[Documentation/Building_Guide/Getting_the_source|  Getting the source code]]
 +
*[[Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Windows| Building on Windows]]
 +
*[[Cpp_Coding_Standards|C++ Coding Standards]].
  
−
==== Vanilla ====
+
The file format used for OpenOffice.org is the ODF format.
 +
* [http://www.oasis-open.org/specs/index.php#opendocumentv1.1 ODF 1.1] is final.
 +
* The upcoming format ODF 1.2 is still in progress (look for the latest announcements and available documents [http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office here]).

*[[Chart2/Open Technical Issue in Chart2|Notes on some technical issues]]
  
−
==== OOoBuild ====
+
The module for the chart implementation is chart2. It is a submodule of the graphics project. The chart implementation makes heavy use of UNO (Universal Network Objects), thus it would be good to learn about [http://udk.openoffice.org/ UNO] first. The new chart does support a published stable UNO API [http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/chart/module-ix.html com::sun::star::chart] for external use.
 +
There is also an internal API com::sun::star::chart2. The internal API is not published and is not guaranteed to be stable. It is subject to further changes - so don't count on it in scripts or something! Furthermore several things you can set with the internal API will not be saved by the application. So for stable work please use the published standard chart API com::sun::star::chart.
  
−
To make it simple, OOoBuild is a "wrapper" around the OpenOffice.org build process
+
If you have questions on the chart development please use the mailing list [http://openoffice.org/projects/graphics/lists dev@graphics.openoffice.org].
−
to make compiling OOo more straight-forward. Some of the enhancements added are :
 
  
−
* patches for known compiling problems
+
To find a concrete task to work on, check the issue queries of open chart bugs and features. Maybe there is something that catches your interest:
−
* integration with "[[ccache]]" and "[[icecream]]" to speed-up the process

== Implemented Chart Features ==
−
of OOo. When working on a specific cws (for us, the "chart2mst3" cws) you will need
 
−
to follow two steps :
 
  
−
* downloading the OOo sources at a specific milestone
+
* [[Chart2/Features3.3  | Additional Features in OOo 3.3 ]]
−
* downloading the specific modifications for the cws from the repository

For the chart module, you will need to download the m166 milestone. The milestone
+
== Basic Macro Examples ==
−
needed will change from time to time, so stay tuned ;-)
 
  
−
To download the milestone, you have several choices.
+
* [[Chart2/ChangeTitleFormattingForAllChartsInACalc | Change title formatting for all charts in a spreadsheet ]]
  
−
* Download from the cvs servers
+
* [[Chart2/GetPositionOfAChart | Get the position of a chart within a spreadsheet ]]
−
* Download a pre-packaged version
 
−
* Download from the main OOo servers
 
  
−
Have a look at the following page for more explanations :
+
* [[API/Samples/StarBasic/Impress/Insert_a_Chart | Create Chart in a presentation document ]]

Some advices :
+
* [http://www.ooowiki.de/DiagrammExport Export Charts from a Calc spreadsheet ]

I would recommend that you download a pre-packaged version of m166 from the  
+
Also have a look at the [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide/Charts BASIC Developers Guide]!
−
following link :
 
−

−
This will save you time compared to downloading the cvs version.

* Development Contact: [[User:Iha|iha]]
  
−
If you still want to download it from the cvs, you can use the following :
 
−
<pre>
 
−
cvs -z3 co -r SRC680_m166 OpenOffice
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
====== Update the CWS modifications ======
 
−
 
−
 
−
Once you downloaded the "standard" sources (also called HEAD), you need to update
 
−
them because the chart module modifications are in a separated cxw called chart2mst3.
 
−
You need to update only the modified modules. To know which modules have been modified,
 
−
check the
 
−
[http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Id=1074&Path=SRC680%2Fchart2mst3 EIS page related to the chart module.]
 
−
On this page, you will find a section called "Modules & Files" which describes the
 
−
modified modules.
 
−
 
−
For each module (subdir) you will need to do :
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
cd name_of_the_module
 
−
cvs -z3 update -dP -r cws_src680_chart2mst3
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
See also cws-extract from oobuild, if you want/need to
 
−
work with diffs (which will get HUGE, though)
 
−
 
−
Note : cwsclone ??? What's its use ??
 
−
 
−
===== dependencies =====
 
−
 
−
First of all before starting to compile anything, you will need to install all the
 
−
dependencies and tools needed for the compiling steps. On the Tools project page,
 
−
you should find all the information on the "Building the source" section :
 
−
 
−
http://tools.openoffice.org/
 
−
 
−
There, you should read the different sub-sections, they will give you a nice
 
−
introduction on how everything works. You should also notice that the steps are
 
−
different on each OS.
 
−
 
−
==== Vanilla ====
 
−
 
−
===== Configuring =====
 
−
 
−
Once you downloaded all the sources, you can start configuring the build.
 
−
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
cd config_office
 
−
./configure
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
If you forgot to install some dependencies, the configure will remind you
 
−
which one are lacking. You can check the one needed on the
 
−
[http://tools.openoffice.org/ tool page]
 
−
 
−
 
−
A nice trick for configuring OOo is to create a script in which you write
 
−
all the options activated for your build. This helps if you want to see
 
−
which options where enabled during the build some days after you compiled
 
−
everything. Here is an example :
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
#! /usr/bin/batch
 
−
./configure  --with-jdk-home="/home/pagalmes/bin/jdk1.5.0_06/"  --with-ant-home="/usr/bin/ant" --with-lang="en fr"
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
===== Building the tools (dmake...) =====
 
−
 
−
During the compiling step, the compiling process needs some tools to achieve
 
−
the build. Before compiling, you need to build those tools. For example,
 
−
 
−
* dmake
 
−
* ...
 
−
 
−
To compile the tools, just type :
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
cd openOffice.org_m166/
 
−
./bootstrap
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
===== Setting the environment =====
 
−
 
−
Before starting to compile OOo, you need to set all the environment variables
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
tcsh
 
−
source LinuxIntelEnv.Set
 
−
setenv nodep "TRUE" ; setenv NO_HIDS "TRUE" ; setenv MAXPROCESS 2
 
−
rehash
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
* '''nodep'''  : inhibits generation of dependency files
 
−
* '''maxprocess''' : sets the number of parallel dmakes per dir
 
−
* '''NO_HIDS''' prevents generation of HIDs (that's used for automated testing)
 
−
 
−
===== Compiling (finally...;-) =====
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
cd instsetoo_native
 
−
build -P2 --dlv_switch -link --all
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
* ''' -P2''' : fires up more than one dmake in _different_ dirs - thus, you end up with a maximum for 4 parallel compilations
 
−
* '''--dlv_switch -link''' : tells deliver not to copy files to solver, but link instead -> saves space
 
−

==== OOoBuild ====

==== The errors reported and the solutions for m166. ====
 
−
 
−
During the compiling step, you will not be able to compile the whole code without
 
−
facing a small number of issues. Here are the issues we already found and ways to
 
−
correct them.
 
−
 
−
 
−
===== ERROR 1 : unoxml, xmerge, xmlhelp, chart2 =====

−
===== the solution =====
 
−
 
−
====== the unoxml problem ======
 
−
 
−
As explained in issue [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65110 65110],
 
−
in the file unoxml/prj/build.lst the first line has to be changed to add 'tools' in it :
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
ux  unoxml  : '''tools''' offuh cppuhelper LIBXML2:libxml2 NULL
 
−
ux  unoxml\source\dom    nmake - all ux_dom      NULL
 
−
ux  unoxml\source\xpath    nmake - all ux_xpath    ux_dom NULL
 
−

−
ux  unoxml\source\service  nmake - all ux_service  ux_dom ux_xpath ux_events NULL
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
Then, to rebuild, just type :
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
cd unoxml; build; cd ../instsetoo_native; build --all
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
====== the xmerge problem ======
 
−
 
−
This is only a problem if you try to compile OOo with Java 1.5
 
−
The issue  [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=59368 59368]
 
−
explains it in a more detailed way.
 
−
 
−
To solve this, you only need to apply the patch attached to the issue :
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
cd src680-m166
 
−
patch -p0 < [filename]
 
−

Chart Quick Links


The Chart module was exchanged completely on the way to OpenOffice.org 2.3. This is the basis for further enhancements and long awaited features.

This page documents ongoing work, implemented and still missing features. It also links to further useful information around the chart.

Helping with the Chart

Example Chart made with OpenOffice.org 2.3 (ods-file see File:ProgrammingLanguages.ods)

Development

If you are new to OpenOffice.org development have a look at the more general pages first:

The file format used for OpenOffice.org is the ODF format.

  • ODF 1.1 is final.
  • The upcoming format ODF 1.2 is still in progress (look for the latest announcements and available documents here).
  • Proposals

If you like to help developing the chart, you can find useful information at the following places:

The module for the chart implementation is chart2. It is a submodule of the graphics project. The chart implementation makes heavy use of UNO (Universal Network Objects), thus it would be good to learn about UNO first. The new chart does support a published stable UNO API com::sun::star::chart for external use. There is also an internal API com::sun::star::chart2. The internal API is not published and is not guaranteed to be stable. It is subject to further changes - so don't count on it in scripts or something! Furthermore several things you can set with the internal API will not be saved by the application. So for stable work please use the published standard chart API com::sun::star::chart.

If you have questions on the chart development please use the mailing list dev@graphics.openoffice.org.

To find a concrete task to work on, check the issue queries of open chart bugs and features. Maybe there is something that catches your interest:

Testing

You can help a lot with identifying new problems or verifying fixed and integrated issues!

Download the latest developer build and give it a try. When you find a bug please check whether someone else already did submit an issue for that problem. The following issue list can help you with the research:

If the problem is unknown you are welcome to submit a new issue. Please describe only one problem per issue. Thanks a lot for your help!
