2009-06-25T12:20:42Z 143 Home 3 406 =AODL (An Open Document Library) AODL is the .net module of the ODF Toolkit. The library is completly written in pure C# and can be used to extend your .net based software to support the OpenDocument Format. To use AODL within your projects respectively software there is no need of a deep knowlegde of the OpenDocument Format itself. It would be helpfull to understand what's going behind the scenes and for writing your own extensions, but as mentioned before this isn't a fundamental requirement. ==Main Features Until now, the following fundamental operations are supported by AODL: * Creating new documents in the text and the spreadsheet format. * Loading and manipulating documents in the text and spreadsheet format. * Initial support for Charts within Spreadsheet Documents. * Export loaded or created documents into the HTML format (text and spreadsheet documents). * Export loaded or created documents into the PDF Format. (this is in an early state of implementation and only available for text documents) ==ODF implemented Features * Reading, editing, creating and saving documents in the OpenDocument text format (TextDocument class). * Reading, editing, creating and saving documents in the OpenDocument spreadsheet format (SpreadsheetDocument class). * ParagraphBuilder class, this class offer several methods for the creation of often used Paragraphs types. * TableBuilder class, this class offer several methods for the creation of often used Table types. * TextBuilder class, this class offer several methods for the simple creation of ITextCollections that will be used within a Paragraph. * SizeConverter class, this class offer size conversation and size type conversation methods for height and width properties of AODL OpenDocument objects. * Colors class, this class offer the possibility to convert any .net system color to the corresponding color used in any document in the OpenDocument format. * Support for common styles. These are e.g used by OpenOffice as style templates. * Reading and writing of the documents metadata. * Full Paragraph support incl. Paragraphstyle and Paragraphproperties. * Full Header support incl. Headerstyle and Proeperties. * List support (number and bullet) support incl. Liststyle and Listproperties. * Full Table of Contents support incl. Sectionstyles. * Full Table support with nested table up to any depth and cellmerging support. * Full support for Rows incl. Rowstyle and Rowproperties. * Full support for Columns incl. Columnstyle and Columnproperties. * Full support for Cells incl. Cellstyle and Cellproperties. * Text support incl. Textstyle and textproperties.
