Default How to use just the graphing capabilities of MS Excel?

Is there a way to use Excel's graphing capability without using most of
Excel itself? Like an embedded object sort of deal?

Hi
you could always copy the created graph in another application (e.g. MS
Word) or insert a MS gchart objext directly in another application (e.g.
Powerpoint)

I understand but I would like to call it from a program. Right now all I can
do is open up an Excel worksheet that has a graph created out of external
data (which my program modifies). It works but it has it's not as nice as
using the graphing function directly.

Christopher -

using the graphing function directly.


Do you mean using it "manually" from your program? You'd have to insert an Excel
object or MSGraph object into your program. An OLE object opens in a parent
application with the usual menu commands, so the user can "use" it.

To do this automatically from your program, create an Excel object, make the chart,
then copy the chart and insert it into your program.
