Embedding a chart in excel

[Stephen Boulet]

I'm having trouble scripting Excel to embed a chart from python.

Say I have created a sheet object and a workbook object, "xlSheet" and
"xlBook".

Creating a chart in front of my sheet is as easy as:

xlSheet.Select( )
xlChart = xlBook.Charts.A dd()

Now how do I tell it to go embed itself in my sheet? In VBA, it might be
something like:

xlChart.Locatio n Where:=xlLocati onAsObject, Name:=xlSheet.N ame

Thanks.

(Is there a newsgroup/list with more of a focus on issues like this than
c.l.py?)

Very nice. I was working on my own excel classes, but I see this does lots.

Im my example, I can see from the code that arguments to the Add method
aren't optional. Thanks.

Maybe this should be in the python cookbook?

There seems to be a problem with UseExcel.setcel l:

>>> a.setcell(sht1. Name,1,(1,1))

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "excel_from_goo gle.py", line 139, in setcell
sht.Cells(row, col).Font.FontS ize = fontSize

raise AttributeError, "Property '%s.%s' can not be set." %
