draw chart Excel using jakarta POI

Hi all,

I'm using a jakarta POI to build a report on excel files.

My environment is made up Tomcat 5.0.19, jdk 1.4.2 jakarta POI 1.5.1.

I need to improve final excel report by add more dynamic CHART,

I have checked jakarta API, but at moment it seeems not possible to draw
chart with POI Library.

Quy question are :

Is possible create chart with POI, isn't it?

Otherwise, how can i solve this issue???


Any help will be appreciated.

I'll try, and will definitely patch it back should I succeed!

I dont think HSSF has read on that.  Since I think we already have 
"write" in, shouldn't be too hard to do the read portion.

It's only java and should be fun, dig in!!

Hi all,

I am trying to use POI to find out if any WorkSheet has freeze/split panes
and where.

Searching the API, mailing list and web, the closest I find is HSSFSheet's
createFreezePane() and createSplitPane().  I can't find anything like
"getSplitPane()".

Any clue to point me to the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Francesco,

I started the chart work some time ago but never managed to get it 
finished.  It's a fairly big piece of work.  More than I was able to handle 
on a hobby basis so for the moment it's not going forward.

Regards,

Glen

Here is for example die XML format description for spread sheets:

The format descriptions are public available. You can use dom4j or similar XML 
apis to create these xml documents.

If you want to use these documents also in older excel versions, you need a 
converter for converting foobar.xml -> foobar.xls. But i haven't found such 
java-based tool. Maybe its needed to use a binary tool for this conversion.

Thanks Thomas for your answer,


Use excel 2002 XML format to descripe your document. Inside this xml format
there are also specifications for charts.
This can be one solution...

I'm not expert on excel XML format,

Where can I find API ?

Is it open source, or i need to buy this software solution,

Thanks in advance.

Francesco.
