You can check this extensions:
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/improved-trend-lines
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/digitizer-of-xy-chart
They are available in two versions each i.e. as an OXT extension or as a
"standalone" JAR version.
In both cases GUI are written in pure Java Swing.
In the first case GUI are started using L/OOo "Add-Ons" menu.
In the second case L/OOo is not running. For the first time when a GUI is
started from a JAR file (as any java program) a path to a directory with
"soffice" executable must be set. After that a GUI is able to launch L/OOo and
connect yourself to it using L/OOo Bootstrap method.
(Source code is available.)
Best Regards,
Marcin
