OpenOffice.org Extensions
OpenOffice.org offers the possibility to develop independent 3rd party extensions. The categories of extensions reach from Basic libraries, packages with Java/JavaScript or Python macros to more sophisticated extensions in form of UNO components implemented in Java, C++ or Python. Even the last category of extensions subdivide in general UNO cmponents providing new implementations for existing functional areas or specialized components like Calc Add-Ins, Add-Ons, DataPilots, Chart Add-Ins or linguistic components (e.g. Spellchecker, Hyphenator or Thesaurus).
- Calc Add-Ins provide new Calc built in functions which can be directly used over the normal function dialog in the Calc application.
- Add-Ons describe components providing some new functionality and normally coming with an UI integration (e.g. new menu entries or complete menues, new toolbars).
- DataPilots provide a new kind of data pilot which can be used directly over the DataPilot dilaog in the calc application.
- Chart Add-Ins provide a new chart type
- Linguistic components provides new implementations of know interfaces which can be used diretly over the normal UI.
In the future it should be possible to deploy a collection of new document templates or a gallery as extensions as well.
