Apache OpenOffice can display data as a chart, which creates graphical links between data in the form of bars, pie charts, lines or other elements. Data can either be displayed as 2D or 3D graphics, and the appearance of the chart elements can be individually adapted in a similar way to the process used for drawing elements.

If the data is available in the form of a spreadsheet, then this can be dynamically linked to the chart. Any modifications made to the basic data can in this instance be seen immediately in the assigned chart. This chapter provides an overview of the programming interface for chart modules of Apache OpenOffice and focuses on the use of charts within spreadsheet documents:
