API of the Chart-Tool

New Here ,
Jan 23, 2007 Jan 23, 2007
Hi...

Is there an API for the chart-tool? I'd like to implement a PlugIn, which generates charts automatically due to a given excel-file.
Unfortunately I can not found something about that in the "AI Function Reference".

Thanks & Regards,
Oliver Hirschi

There isn't an API for the chart tool unfortunately.

I remember looking at that years ago and I think I recall noticing that it was storing it's data using the XML node stuff you can find in the AIXMLElement.h & AIXMLNameUtil.h headers. You can use that to look at the metadata node attached to a document. Like I said, this is all very vague even in my own head, but I thought I remembered seeing it stored in there; you might try creating a chart and then seeing if you can find the data you enter inside that metadata. If so, you might be able to reverse engineer out a way to automatically inject data into a chart.
