libgsf question

[Kem Mason <kem qfdev com>]

I'm not certain this is the right forum, but I looked through the 
mail.gnome.org archives for this mailing list and it looks close.

The problem I'm having is this:

I downloaded libgsf in order to write (fairly simple) Excel spreadsheet 
files on linux.

I'm having a hard time understanding the documentation at:
http://www.gnome.org/projects/libgsf/

What I'm wondering is this:

Are there any really simple examples of how to write an excel 
spreadsheet?  If I had a basic outline for creating one that had data in a 
cell or two,  I don't think I'd have any problem moving forward from 
there.  Obviously looking at the source for gnumeric, or something else 
that uses libgsf is a possibility (and maybe the route I need to take) -- 
I'm just hoping there might be some reference I'm missing that would save 
me a bunch of time -- not really excited about diving into code that's not 
intended to be an example, although if this route doesn't pan out, that's 
what I'll do I think.

Any suggestions / pointers welcome.

Thanks,
Kem
