Chart2 is the re-implementation of the charting component of OpenOffice.org. It is integrated in OOo 2.3.
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 newcomers to the process of developing for 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 mailing lists: (users,dev,features,bugs,cvs)@graphics.openoffice.org. See also the side-box with some useful Links.

Helping with the Chart
Development
If you like to help developing the chart, you can find useful information here.
- Compiling the new chart module deprecated. Since SRC680.m213, the master build contains the module chart2, so the procedure for developing code for the chart is the same as for every other project.
- Some notes about debugging functions
- FAQ about Chart API Compatibility If you have problems with Macros or extensions that use the com.sun.star.chart API you may find answers or ask questions on this page.
- UNO API of the new Chart (chart2) (version of OOG680.m2, August 2007)
Currently open child-workspaces for development:
| Name | Description | Target |
| chart11 | Bugfixes for chart2 | OOo 2.4 |
| chart14 | chart features for OOo 2.4 | OOo 2.4 |
Testing
The new chart implementation will be part of OpenOffice.org 2.3. A developer snapshot of the release candidates is available on the OOo download page. The localizations (CWS localisation21) and some final fixes for the chart (CWS chart12) are integrated into OOG680.m2.
For a current list of open issue for the Chart component see this complete query or a more specific one:
- Fixed issues that have not been verified or closed yet
- Open features (enhancements and features)
- Open bugs (defects and tasks)
- Patches that have not been applied yet
- Verified issues that have not been closed yet (checked in the master)
- Or create your own query.
There is also a spreadsheet document containing the open chart issues. It is nice for sorting and filtering, but it is not up-to-date. Have a look at the first line to find out when the query was done.
Features
This section gives an overview over new features that are either integrated, planned for a future release or not yet planned to implement for a specific version.
Past Releases
The features listed here are integrated in the product, so they are available for download. Note: OOo 2.3 is not released yet, but will be very soon
Future Releases
The features listed here are planned for one of the upcoming releases.
Unplanned Features
These features are not planned for a specific release yet. They are candidates for being part of future releases. For a better overview, the features are grouped by category.
- Chart-Types
- Legend
