A simple API

Our goal is to provide an easy-to-use and stable API. For example, to load and display a spreadsheet document, you only need the few lines below:


 final OpenDocument doc = new OpenDocument();
 doc.loadFrom("invoice.ods");

 // Show time !
 final JFrame f = new JFrame("Invoice Viewer");
 ODSViewerPanel viewer = new ODSViewerPanel(doc);
 f.setContentPane(viewer);
 f.pack();
 f.setVisible(true);
