New Chart Module is Integrated into the SRC680 m213 Master!
Bjoern Milcke

Finally, the New Chart made it into the master build!

There are a lot of improvements. For details see the What's New page.

If you like, download the developer snapshot build and give it a try! In case you discover any problems you can check this list of existing Issues. You are welcome to submit new issues you find.

Thanks a lot to all contributors. There was plenty of valuable feedback from testing the milestone builds, suggestions for improvement, articles for the online help and specification documents. Many thanks to Regina Henschel, Tony Galmiche, Pierre-André Galmes, Jörg Wartenberg and all the other people of the OOo community who supported the Sun Chart team.

 Example Charts made with m213

Wow, this are good news. When I first read the news I thought "nice". But then I followed the link and digged into http://graphics.openoffice.org/chart/whatsnewinchart2.html . What I found totally excited me. Finally the trend line and error bar issue will be a bad remembrances of the past if I understand correctly. Speed improvements will also be delight the user. I opened the demo files in PPVIEWER via Wine and gnumeric respectively and can say I simply love it. Right now gnumeric is still my best friend (it's faster than OOo/Calc anyway and by far superior regarding charts) but leaks the tight integration as OOo/Calc has in OOo in general. Considering that people enhance the OOo chart engine and that an integration of "R" is happening I see a very bright future for OOo not only in the academic field. I mean now there is Biubs, R and OpenOffice.org. What else would a scientist need for high quality publication? Keep up the good work.

Nice to see the new chart is now integrated. I played with a build a while back on my Mac under X11. It was a lot easier to use. You have a strange screenshot that looks like a weird Mac UI.

My humble guess what the weird Mac UI might be: http://www.sun.com/software/looking_glass/

The screen shots are made on a Sun Java Desktop on Solaris (a SunRay server). The Gnome theme that looks a bit aquatic is called Glossy P.

Why there is no integration of the chart module into OO-Base with forms?

Good to see that the chart module is getting an overhaul. Charts in calc were always the biggest complaint for me compared to MS Office. Guess I'll have to grab the m213 source and try it out. Oh, and excellent Gnome theme...I'm downloading it now ;)
