Pete's table action items for next ODF AccSC call

[Pete Brunet <brunet@us.ibm.com>]

Here is the response for my action items
for the next ODF AccSC call...

• Investigate if there are any new charts not backed by tables

Sections 10.2 and 10.3 have a fairly
positive indication that charts always have a related table, either embedded
in the chart or separate from the chart but embedded somewhere else in
the parent document.  However, I'm concerned about the use of the
word "may" and have asked the TC for a clarification.

Section 10.2 and 10.3 contain this text...

10.2 Introduction to Chart Documents
Chart documents are always contained
within other XML documents. There are two types of chart container documents:

• Documents that do not provide data for the chart: The chart data is contained in a <table:table> element inside the <chart:chart> element.
• Documents that provide data for the chart: The chart data may be contained in a <table:table> element in the parent document, for example, in a spreadsheet or text document.

10.3 <chart:chart>
The <chart:chart>  element
represents an entire chart, including titles, a legend, and the graphical
object that visualizes the underlying data called the plot area. The
data underlying the chart is represented by a table element.
This element may also
exist for embedded charts that get
the data from the container document. In that case the chart can be rendered
without getting the data from the container document.

• Document how to navigate to those tables in OpenOffice and Symphony.

1) Insert a chart into a word processing
document
2) Press F5 to activate the Navigator
and select the chart.
3) Press Enter to enter the chart.
4) Press F10 to activate the context
menu
5) Choose Chart Data
6) Navigate through the table that is
presented.
