| [office] Are all charts always backed
by a table? |
|
For accessibility purposes the AccSC needs to know if all ODF charts are
*always* backed by a table. (Tables are accessible and easier to
navigate and interpret.) Due to the use of the word "may"
in sections 10.2 and 10.3 of the spec, it's not clear that all charts are
*always" backed by a table. Could someone please clarify this?
Does the text need to be touched up?
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.
Thanks,
