Chartspace XMLData documentation?

[Dennis McCarthy]

Can anyone point me to useful documentation of the XML format for the XMLData
property of the Chartspace object in OWC 11?

I would like to use the OWC 11 chart control to dynamically create charts on
the web server (in a SharePoint web part) as follows:

1. Call a web service to get the data to be displayed, as XML.
2. Transform the XML data into Chartspace.XMLData format, using XSLT.
3. Set the XMLData property of a Chartspace object, and export the chart as
a gif.

I need to understand the XML for the Chartspace.XMLData property in order to
write the XSL transforms. I have created some samples using the chart wizard
in Visual Studio .NET, and the value of the XMLData property looks
complicated.

Thanks,
Dennis

Microsoft has published the XML schema. You can find it on msdn

Alvin,

I haved searched for it, but only found the XML schema for the Office
applications, not the XML schema for the OWC Chartspace.XMLData. Can you
provide a link to the OWC Chartspace.XMLData schema documentation?

Thanks,
Dennis

If memory serves me correctly the schema...scratch that, I dont remember any
more. Another way, if you can't locate the links, is to write out the chart
schema and open the file in notepad to decipher it. There is a link in the
black book but i don't have a copy with me at work.
