Build 3.5.0.120 of xlsgen is a fix pack for charts.


It includes the following fixes :

- rotate x-axis text in transposed charts so it is easier to read (and mimics Excel)

- better rendering of plot area (actual wide setting)

- fill rendering : avoid partial deletion of borders

- custom data label rendering (font particularly)

- custom data labels : position is wrong in stacked chart case

- clipping case : data labels of type "outside" are repositioned to avoid clipping if they are too close to plot area boundaries

- chart rendering : custom data label positioning

Build 3.5.0.119 of xlsgen brings support of 6 gradient fill types to xlsgen for rendering charts.

Before that, only one horizontal type and one vertical type (both linear) were supported. Now 4 horizontal types and 4 vertical types are supported, which makes way for properly rendering some of the more advanced formatted charts.

Build 3.5.0.118 of xlsgen adds support for shape groups from XLSX files.

Shape groups are the result of shift-clicking more than one shape in Excel and clicking Group in the Format ribbon. Shapes in question can be anything among charts, text boxes, vector shapes, pictures, ...

Internally those are saved a lit oddly and xlsgen would just ignore them so far, unfortunately ignoring the actual shapes as well.

Obviously, there can also be groups within groups. So this was also a scenario to support.

xlsgen correctly reads shape groups and use them for rendering, inspecting and copying purposes.
