Re: [wings] gnumeric chart format

["Andrew C. Oliver" <acoliver apache org>]

As promised I took a look at gnumeric chart format.  

Here is what I found:

1. Gnumeric uses "Guppi" http://www.gnome.org/guppi to do its graphing
2. Guppi is not considered fully featured (I don't think thats a real
downside)
3. to create a graph you need approximately the latest gnumeric (I have
1.04) and the latest version of guppi (0.40+) You select cells and pick
the little graph button at the top
4. Gnumeric cannot import Excel graphs
5. I can't get Graphs/charts to work on my box.  It goes through the
wizard then returns with nothing.

Can someone else take a jab at it and see if they can get it to work. 
If they have a similar experience then I'd suggest eliminating this 
format from the list of those to try.

PS - I just noticed there are more recent versions of gnumeric available
I'll try those as well.

PPS - Gnumeric folks:  The Krysalis project (www.krysalis.org) has a SVG
charting project for which they are reconsidering the file format.  It's
been suggested they piggyback on an existing format
