Hi. I would like to be able to render cell content in an owner-draw fashion.
An intuitive way to control this for the end-user (or at least for me) would be to add a new format to "Format Cells". I was thinking along the lines of adding an item to "Numbers"->"Category", say "SVG image", and cells containing SVG instructions would display the SVG graphics instead of the SVG text. Alternatively a "Format" could be added to the "User-defined" category ?
The actual rendering instructions that I would like to support are not SVG but "protein rendering info" as shown at http://www.biochemfusion.com/downloads/protein_renderer.html. However, the two problems are equivalent and the rendering info could easily be translated to SVG if necessary.
Can this be done as an UNO extension or would this need to added directly into Calc as native functionality ?
PS: I've seen this implemented by a number of vendors in Excel but trust me - you don't really want to know how they do it (seriously fun hacking necessary) :-).
