Hi, I'm looking around for Python-Code or Zope-Product which uses OpenOffice as a generator for Charts. The idea is to generate XML-OpenOffice-Code via Zope, transfer the dynamic document into OpenOffice and save it as HTML with JPGs. The JPGs should then be served via Zope as a chart-picture. Or the OpenOffice document could be converted into a MSOffice Document and downloaded via Zope. Regards, Dirk
What about the ZGDChart product? It can be used to generate charts without the need for OpenOffice. Looks like a more elegant solution to me.

I had a look at that, but I thing that ZGDChart is limited in features I want.

What about ploticus? (ploticus.sourceforge.net). Its big advantage is that it is template based, so that you can define the chart and its data independently. Well documented, fast, can generate a variety of backends, including png, jpeg, eps, ps, svg. Define your template, gather your data, turn ploticus loose. Nearly every "business graphics" type chart known to man. Does not do 3-d effects. Jim Penny

My GrpahMethod product already supports PlPlot, which can do everything from business to scientific graphs. I do not know much of the API, but there are good tutorials.

Yes, and much faster then Java-based OO. I use this product as well and it really great stuff. -- Bogdan M.Maryniuck

Just as a side note: OpenOffice is written entirely in C/C++. It is not at all Java-based. There are Java-based versions that use the C++ libraries, but those are only available from SUN as part of their ONE stuff or so. Joachim

It is not at all Java-based. Hmm... AFAIK it actualy is. It's same StarOffice, with new filters and less GUI. Otherwise it can't be crossplatform...
There are Java-based versions that use the C++ libraries, Hmm... It's really interesting -- if we can import this stuff into Python, it should be cool. Suppose Zope-based StarCalc (I'm serious -- why not?)...

Nope, it isn't. Go to openoffice.org, there are several places where you can read the OO is C++, one quote from an faq: How much source code is there? OpenOffice.org source will have approx. 20,000 source files. OpenOffice.org will have approx. 7,600,000 lines of code. The majority of the code is C++.
It is not at all Java-based.

Really? But then kde, gnome, perl, python etc. are also written in Java?

Hehe, funny you mention that: http://polysorbate.org/?work/openoffice cheers, oliver
-> I'm looking around for Python-Code or Zope-Product which uses OpenOffice -> as a generator for Charts. Can't help you with the OpenOffice thing, but if you need charts check into the "GDChart" library at http://www.fred.net/brv/chart/. It has both Perl and Python bindings (in addition to its C API) and works quite well. It seems like I saw a Zope Product for it, but I'm not sure. --Derek
