[Tutor] pyExcelerator and Graphs

2006-12-11 Thread Toon Pieton

Hey friendly users,

I have been using pyExcelerator for a short period now, and I'm very
satisfied with the results. There is one thing that I just can't do thought,
and that is making graphs. I want to add a column (horizontal) type graph.
Does anybody know how this can be achieved?

Thanks in advance for reading this!

In the readme this is listed as a future feature.

[Tutor] pyexcelerator

2006-06-09 Thread Paul D. Kraus
Are their docs anywhere for pyexcelerator? the built in docs are a bit lacking.For instance I can't figure out how to set a column width.I am just reading the examples and they kind of help but I don't follow this ...
ws.col(i).width = 0x0d00 + iwhere i is an incrementing integer.so to me it reads if i = 0.set col 0's width to hexnumber plus 0why the hex number? does it have to be written this way?

Maybe just try without the 0x0d00 and see what happens? or try the 
pyExcelerator mailing list on SourceForge...

Mailing list looks dead only 2 messages.Man this is the exact module i need to finish converting about 20 scripts from perl and I have no idea how to use most of it. This is very frustrating.
Is there another excel writer module that has documentation?Or on a broader topic is their a CPAN equivalent? Paul

If you are running on Windows and have Excel installed you can talk to 
Excel using COM. Take a look here:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pythonwin32/chapter/ch12.html

If no one on tutor knows about this you can probably get help with COM 
on the python-win32 list or comp.lang.python.

Nothing has to be written in hex. Judging from some of the modules the 
author used hex a lot.

I just looked at my copy of PyExcelerator. It seems to be in poor shape. 
I tried running some of the modules that have if __name__ == '__main__': 
(i.e. self-testing) and they failed with errors! And I find no visible 
documentation or working examples. Sigh.

The only thing I've used it for is parsing an existing Excel Workbook.

I was looking in the wrong place. Now I see the examples folder. Double
Sigh. I'll take a look at them.

I have not tried to run the modules by themselves.I hate the idea of having to pass or make a call to a perl script to handle the excel stuff its just seems wrong. I wish there was some kind of *open* format that i could write the spreadsheets to that both open office and excel 2000/2003 could read natively.

- look through the past releases on sourceforge
- ask on the pyExcelerator list
- hack the current release to work on 2.3 - most of what is new in 2.4 
can be done fairly easily in 2.3

 there is a patch submitted there that you can apply to the current
 release to make it compatible with 2.4.

Thanks lots Poor Yorick.
