Charts support in XlsxWriter

[John McNamara]

Hi,

Work has started on adding chart support to XlsxWriter and there is already some limited functionality.

If you would like to get early access and give some feedback you can subscribe to the following issue on Github:

    https://github.com/jmcnamara/XlsxWriter/issues/9

Currently only Bar charts are supported. Column, scatter, line and pie charts will follow quickly and chart formatting options will be added after that. There is a working example at the above link if you wish to try it.

Have a look at the Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart docs for an idea of what features will be supported:

Fantastic work John. Many thanks I soon going to implement your lib in my django project.

Tiny docbug: The features list (comparison with Excel::Writer::XLSX)
still lists sparklines as unimplemented, and the blurb at the top
mentions both sparklines and charts as remaining.

To me, this is of only slightly higher priority than spelling mistakes
in the prose. (Spelling mistakes in code examples would be higher.)
Let me take this opportunity to mention that not only does XlsxWriter
provide a lot of features in quite a programmer-friendly manner, it
also has nice docs.

Hi John,

Thanks for that and your comments. I already have that sparkline fix on my internal TODO list for the next doc update. :-)

Of course, this is introduced the day that I decide to stop waiting
and just install 0.3.0. ;)

(Not that I have even exercised, or really know how to exercise yet,
the features beyond 0.2.6.)

But nice work! I'm sure it will be fun once I get around to it.
