Re: [libreoffice-design] Friday's Insert Chart Design Session

Hi Regina,

thanks a lot for your reply. Of course, Writer and Calc are just examples for 
having the chart data included or not. However, Jay and me wonder how to get 
internal data in Calc working. I guess your are talking from a programmer POV 
and the data is always stored with the chart. So Calc is the exception.

About the sidebar the idea was to have access to chart data not the OLE 
object. But I'm not sure if this direct access really needs to be available. 
On the other hand the properties sidebar section that we have right now would 
be a nice means to tweak chart content instead of the multitude of dialogs. 
Just to start with one of them ;-).

Cheers,
Heiko.
