Oops! I goofed on the resend - sorry! ----- Original message ----- From: dave boland <[1]dbola...@fastmail.fm> To: Tom Davies <[2]tomc...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Base graphics/visualization Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2014 22:52:16 -0400
Tom, This brings us full circle back to where I started and why I asked the question. The Base Handbook says: Note The creation of charts works at present only in Versions 3.3.x and 3.4.x. From Version 3.5, LibreOffice can no longer open these reports. They can still be produced, however. LibreOffice is not the only program to have problems with charts. In Version 3.3 of OpenOffice.org, the display does not work either. OpenOffice.org does open the reports, but with the charts missing. So, I'm back to where we started. I have ver. 4.1.3.2, and I know there is a new version in the works for later July. Will I be able to use the report facility to build charts based on the data form the query? If so, how?

It is difficult for people to understand even the basics so documentation is a big challenge.

However, it looks like Charts is being pulled out as a new module, not just in Calc. [6]http://www.libreoffice.org/discover/charts/ Dave, On Sun, Jun 22, 2014, at 04:19 PM, Charles-H.

I have 4.1, but the Charts module is not included, so my guess is that it is part of the new release next month. Anyway, does anyone familiar with Charts think that this may be an answer?

So the first question is can I do that with Base and Calc? This needs to be automated so that each day I run a report on the current data and get the report. I have no problem with using LO scripting language if needed, I just need to know that this can be done and general ly how. If the answer is that it can't be done, or would require extensive work, then waht are the alternatives? I looked at MariaDb, but did not see any built-in tools to do what I want. As I mentioned in the original post, I'm fine with using Base and an external program like R if it can produce waht I want.
