draw line shape spreadsheet Josef Frysak How to draw a line on a Spreadsheet?

Get the spreadsheet by using the "XSpreadsheetView" interface. Then use the

documents "XMultiServiceFactory" interface to create a new "LineShape" object.

Next use the Size and Point strucures to descripe position and size attributes

of this line. Finally add the newly created line to the drawpage of the

spreadsheet.
