require 'writeexcel'

workbook  = WriteExcel.new("demo1.xls")
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet

# Add the chart extracted using the chartex utility
chart     = workbook.add_chart_ext('demo101.bin', 'Chart1')

# Link the chart to the worksheet data using a dummy formula.
worksheet.store_formula('=Sheet1!A1')

# Add some extra formats to cover formats used in the charts.
chart_font_1 = workbook.add_format(:font_only => 1)
chart_font_2 = workbook.add_format(:font_only => 1)
chart_font_3 = workbook.add_format(:font_only => 1)

# Add all other formats (if any).

# Add data to range that the chart refers to.
nums    = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9,  10 ]
squares = [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]

worksheet.write_col('A1', nums   )
worksheet.write_col('B1', squares)

workbook.close
