    Testing the new Chart

    With the exchange of a complete module there is a principle risk for new bugs. Here you can help a lot with identifying problems! Download one of the latest developer snapshots and give it a try. When you find a bug please check whether someone else already did submit an issue for that problem. The following issue list can help you with the research: chart bugs . If the problem is unknown you are welcome to submit a new issue. Thanks a lot for your help!

    Development

    The CVS module for the new chart is 'chart2'. It is a submodule of the graphics project. If you are an interested developer you are welcome in the IRC chat ( IRC Network: Freenode (irc.freenode.net) Channel: #chart2.openoffice.org ). The new chart makes heavy use of UNO (Universal Network Objects), thus it would be good to learn about UNO first. The new chart does support an old stable UNO API com::sun::star::chart and a new UNO API com::sun::star::chart2 which is still under construction. Be aware that the new API is not published and is subject to further changes in future - so don't count on it in scripts or something! For stable work please use the published standard chart API com::sun::star::chart.

    General Question or Comment?

    If you have comments or questions related to the chart you are welcome on the graphics mailinglists: users@graphics.openoffice.org or dev@graphics.openoffice.org.
