Advanced Fonts and Labels: Support Font Style Themes with Customizable Text Element Assignments:
Made some pre-defined chart styles (from MSO) work .. (it is not finalized yet)
Implemented a way to dump chart style to a file.. and load it back.. without impleneting all properties 1by1 .. only some complex properties are handled separately .. (I had to implement new BGradient::dumpAsJSON and BGradient::fromJSON because original was far from complete.. and I did similar for other complex properties)
I made it for barcharts only now.. other charts will need other property types to be handled. -
