Chart2

Chart2 is a sub-project of the OpenOffice.org Chart Project. Our goal is to develop a new Chart component for (presumably) OOo 2.6.

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.

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].

Development in the New Chart

As the information on how to compile the new chart and on how to develop in this project have become quite lenghty, they can be found now on separate pages:

• Compiling the new chart module
• Developing for the new chart module

Open Technical Issues in the New Chart

There still some architectural issues left that have to be solved. This section serves for showing those problems and showing the progress in finding solutions.
