But this will only be something for storing them. Internally we will not use styles for color scales and data abrs. They will save the necessary information directly and skip the over- engineered style handling in calc core. Using styles for the user does not make sense and we should only over usefule choices for the user there. In case of color scales it will the type of the point, the value/formula if needed, and the color. For data bars this will be a bit more complex and we need to limit us for now to some basic features. Length of the shortest and of the longest bar and the color of the data bar. Mostly the MSO 2007 opetions + maybe the option from 2010 allowing to mark that negative values are painted independently in another color, and that the zero point is at the center of the cell. I'll try to support the data bar features from Office 2007 and have no idea yet if it is possible to add one or two of the useful 2010 features too.
