Inserting dynamic image in Calc

Post by fiddler »

I have a small application where I have 2 cells (X,Y) which contains the 2 sides for a rectangel.
I can insert a DXF file of this rectangel as an image via "Insert", "Picture", "From File" etc.

However I cannot update the image easily.
If I go to "Edit","Links" I can update the image manually.
I have tried to record a Macro, but it stops when the Links update dialog box appears.

Is there any easy way around this ?

What I would like to do eventually is to dynamicaly update the drawing image as I chnage the X or Y sides.
As the DXF file is just a text file this is quite easy done.

PS, I got qite excited when I discovered that you could view DXF drawing files in OO. Just marvelous.

Perhaps using the code for inserting an image http://codesnippets.services.openoffice ... Image.snip you may be able to add a few lines of code to make it change dynamically
