Creating Charts

The com.sun.star.table.XTableChartsSupplier interface of the com.sun.star.sheet.Spreadsheet service is used to create and insert a new chart into a Calc document. This creates a chart that uses data from the com.sun.star.chart.XChartDataArray interface of the underlying cell range. A generic way to create charts is to insert an OLE-Shape into a draw page and transform it into a chart setting a class-id.
