Hi,

  Currently i have found a way to get the position/size information of
charts.  I have modified the function createAggregate in the file
EscherAggregate.java.

In the current code the escherrecords are formed only if  a combination of
 (DrawingRecord & ObjRecord) are found adjacently.  Suppose an excel sheet
contains
 two shapes  then the record list may contain some thing like below and
position/size information of shaped are decoded properly

----record
----record
DrawingRecord
ObjRecord
DrawingRecord
ObjRecord
----record
----record etc

But suppose if an excel 2003 contains two *charts* the records list is
having some order as below
----record
----record
DrawingRecord
ObjRecord
----record
----record
|
|
----record
----record
DrawingRecord
ObjRecord
----record
----record etc

But this is not taken care in the function createAggregate . This function
will take care of  only adjacent  (DrawingRecord & ObjRecord) pairs.
If I modify the above function to handle the scenario mentioned above for
charts then i am able to get the position/size information of all charts.

Please confirm wether this modification is the correct way of fixing this
problem

Thanks
   varghese
