I'm exploring using OpenOffice, specifically Draw, as a user interface for some clients to visualize data from an online database application. I'm wondering if anyone could answer a couple questions for me regarding the Draw application...specifically: 1) Does the Draw application support access via the OpenOffice API? Specifically, I have a developer the programs in VB, and I want to know if they will be able to program in VB against the API and manipulate the objects in Draw. 2) Assuming #1 is possible, does it seem plausible that we could use Draw as a server application to create images dynamically and return those images to a web application for display in a web page? Maybe using the Flash functionality?
Any thoughts/help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks. Josh
