Hello.
I work for a free and non commercial bicycle magazin and we often publish scientific articles. They contain data sheets and charts.
Until know we publish the charts as a PNG.
The quality is low and as every bitmap graphic it doesn't scale well.
Is there a tool which allows to create a chart from an Excel (or Libreoffice Calc) data sheet as an SVG?
Of course the code of the SVG should be of high quality. Text should be text. Basic shapes (circles, rectangles, etc.) shouldn't be realised as a path etc.
A while back I worked with the Gnumeric team to ensure that users could just drag-n-drop a chart straight out of Gnumeric and directly into Inkscape. I haven't checked recently if that still works, but could be one option.
