HSSF Charts

[Dimitri Pissarenko <di...@gmx.net>]

Hello!

For my application I need the ability to create charts in a POI
generated Excel document.

I am thinking about implementing this feature.

I would like to receive hints on following questions:

1) Is there any material describing the format of Excel Charts, apart
from

http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/chart.html
http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=excel97chart

?

2) Imagine, I figured out, what BIFF records are necessary to create a
simple chart. How can I write these BIFF records to an Excel file in
Java?

TIA

You can also get the Excel Developer's Kit from Amazon (it's an old book).

Regarding Question 2: look at the serialize methods.  short of it, if a 
record is in the list that gets serialized, it's going in.
