At the moment, POI stands at v3.8 beta 5.
I have used up to version 3.7, and I have found problems such as:
-Programming java code to draw a graph based on a range of cells relative to
another one
and insert the graph as an image object embedded in file on a particular Excel
Worksheet.
-Exporting said Excel graph as a jpg, gif or bmp file.
-Changing and inserting different Fonts and sizes for brand new CharacterRuns
in an MS Word text document (Typical XP format).
-Similarly inserting, sizing and resizing, and exporting gif, jpg, gif file
images. As well as anchoring the image to a "text cursor location"
as well as a free floating image, as well as the consequences of having
images partly or fully over the top of other images.
-How do these shortfalls stand? Is the present version yet capable of this
at the moment, using the POI API easily exposed to the Java Programmer?
I can't really find an open source java lib for reading, writing, editing
MSWord files in this api complete fashion as specified here,
even just up to 97/2000/XP file format version. Where might I look on the
internet?
