Hi,
  I have dumped the records and found that we can get the height and width
from the record ChartRecord.

But I am not able to get the information regarding the left and top values
of the chart..  For *shapes* we are getting the position and dimension
information
from EscherClientAnchorRecord  contained in EscherContainerRecord.

While debuging i found that if the excel sheet is containing only one chart
then i am able to get the information about the chart
from EscherClientAnchorRecord
very accurately.

But if there is two charts then i am able to get the information about only
one chart from  EscherClientAnchorRecord contained
in  EscherContainerRecord.

Below is the eschercontainerrecord structure for a xls(2003) file having
two charts. it is having postion/dimension of only one chart.   Is there
any way to get the information about the second chart in the sheet
