Dear all, Since June, this is the third pull request I open about the same theme.
After the first review, mentioning a conversation I had missed (https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ff5470bc413d298188f8c5d3d250ee15d36bd655227696869ed21aab@%3Cdev.poi.apache.org%3E), I reworked my initial submission to refactor my code into some sharable XDDF package for the common DrawingML subset about charts. After I had opened the second pull request, I wanted to solve some personal situation which my initial XDDF implementation did not allow me to get done, not even with ugly code. So I decided to go for some more steps, learning from the XSSF charts implementation, and migrating the existing XSSF charts and tests to use the new XDDF code, which evolved a lot. This is why we now have pull request #68 (https://github.com/apache/poi/pull/68 <https://github.com/apache/poi/pull/68>) and pull requests #61 and #67 have been closed. Personally, I was scratching my own itch which was bug #57835 (https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57835), at least the Charts part of the bug report. Maybe the Notes part could be solved following some strategy similar to what I implemented for Charts. It did not enter my scope yet. Anyway, it would be worth its own pull request, since this one is already touching 97 files… I hope this contribution does not fall in the middle of some important release preparation. Best regards, Alain
