Hi Ingrid, all,

As the icons we're going to create should stay at least until the last
release before OOo4 we'll have to think about sparing a color range
not to be used for other components.
In the moment it could be dark green or purple - we're just at the
beginning of the color discussion on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There exists already an icon for chart document that uses dark green [1]
as color. I think the color is ok. Maybe we should use a pie chart
instead of the columns, as this makes the purpose of the icon clearer.
Thanks a lot for the link, it is very helpful.
Does there exist a component icon too or is it just the document icon?
WRT the symbol I don't know if the pie chart will stay recognizable even
in small icons (16x16 px). But we'll try it.
My first idea was a line chart including the axes, but with this
existing icon we'll have a good basis for our work.
However, this icon is indeed not used today, and I am not sure if there
are any plans to change this. Charts are currently only available as OLE
objects, but one basic property of OLE objects is to have an own
file-format as it is required to be storable on their own (as
temp-files). There is usually also a menu entry "Save Copy As ..." for
storing an OLE-object as a separate file. This is currently not
available for charts, but I see no reason for not being able to do so.
(Except the reason that, when having those files, you should be able to
open and also modify them, which currently also doesn't work satisfactory)
(This is not a bad reason at all - you would be headed to a lot of
issues against this problem)
I don't think that there are developer capacities to work on it, but
from my personal POV opening the module independently would be a crucial
marketing feature for a full seventh component.
