LabVIEW Versions:
Created and tested with LabVIEW 2009

Dependencies:
Report Generation toolkit (part of it is included in the base package: Word & Excel require license)


Description:
This package contains an installer and class to use the AODL (An OpenDocument library) with the Report Generation toolkit
from National Instruments.

Includes:

- ooWriter class
- AODL classes (and DLLs)
- PreInstall and PreUninstall VIs to backup the only modified NI VI: New Report.vi (in Utility\NIReport.llb)


Instructions:
After installing package with VIPM, use the NI Report Generation palette as usual.


Known Issues:

1- ooWriter:
Styles integration is incomplete. Needs to have a real "style" class created that will comply with current standard in RGT.
Adding an image is not working correctly: it is embedded in a paragraph instead of being standalone.
Save to File VI is still without filename checking nor dialog boxes. (enter an ODT file extension to work)

2- ooCalc: no integration yet, but rather similar to ooWriter in principle. (All the roadblocks will be cleared by ooWriter)

3- This code has been done with LV2009. I see no problem for using it with LV 8.2 and up, it's just a matter of
saving for previous version and distribute. This will be done at a later date.

History:

v0.1.1: Changed PreUninstall to PostUninstall in the package build. If you get thrown an error on reinstalling, it should be a one time thing and no problem afterwards. (New Report_backup.vi was not copied at the right time).
v0.1.0: Initial release of the code. (LV2009)
