Charts (Diagrams)
OpenOffice.org can display data as a chart, which creates graphical representations of
numerical 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 way similar to the process used for drawing elements.
Charts are not treated as independent documents in OpenOffice.org, but as objects that are
embedded in an existing document.
A chart may contain its own data or may display data from the container document. For
example charts in spreadsheets can display data obtained from the cell ranges and charts in
text documents can display data obtained from writer tables.

Using Charts in Spreadsheets
Charts within spreadsheets can display the data from an assigned cell range within the
spreadsheet. Any modifications made to the data within the spreadsheet will also be
reflected in the assigned chart. The following example shows how to create a chart
assigned to some cell ranges within a spreadsheet document:
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Charts As Object
Dim Chart as Object
Dim Rect As New com.sun.star.awt.Rectangle
Dim RangeAddress(0) As New com.sun.star.table.CellRangeAddress
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Charts = Doc.Sheets(0).Charts
Rect.X = 8000
Rect.Y = 1000
Rect.Width = 10000
Rect.Height = 7000
RangeAddress(0).Sheet = 0
RangeAddress(0).StartColumn = 0
RangeAddress(0).StartRow = 0
RangeAddress(0).EndColumn = 2
