| Architectural changes: |

| </H1> |
| <UL> |
| <LI> |
| Separation of model, view and controller |
| <UL> |
| <LI> |
| The separation of the different duties will help to maintain and expand the code easier in future. |
| </LI> |
| </UL> |
| </LI> |
| <LI> |
| Separation of chart and drawing layer (first part) |
| <br> |
| Chart2 uses UNO API to create the draw shapes whereever possible |
| instead of inheriting from native drawing layer classes. |
| <UL> |
| <LI> |
| This will ease architectural changes in the drawing layer in future. |
| </LI> |
| </UL> |
| </LI> |
| <LI> |
| Chart2 is not sfx-based anymore but uses the framework via UNO API instead |
| <UL> |
| <LI> |
| This separation will help with the ongoning effort to replace sfx. |
