It wasn't actually meant this way. I'd consider this a useful think, we discussed a little bit about it while talking about the charts-in-reports implementation. For the moment, this one is to be finished - and then we'll see how big the gap to charts-in-forms would be. > Actually it's more of a conceptual thing.

And Writer surely only uses the UNO API of the chart, which is accessible from Basic, too. However, I don't have an idea how this API looks like. [EMAIL PROTECTED] might be a place for this question.
