Generate Excel charts ? 1

[MoshiachNow]

HI,

I know how to create excecl file using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.
However I have failed to create a chart programably from this file,or save it in advance as a chart.
"chartex" utility seem to convert the existing charts to binary file ready for import,but not for creating the charts to start with.
Will appreciate ideas.
thanks

I know not of direct help, but I use GD:Graph for my graphing requirements, could you possibly use that instead of tying to create a chart in the excel spreadsheet.

Moshiach , Do you have access to the server and so PPM (Perl Package Manager?)

If not you may need to ask your hosting company to install it.

The repositories I use are...

ActiveState
Bribes
Trouchelle
WinniPeg

That's with the GUI version. He might still be using the CLI version.
