22ExampleDataPilotSource
23======================
24
25This example shows how you can implement an external DataPilot
26component.
27
28Simple usage scenario:
29======================
301. build and deploay the component
312. open a new spreadsheet document
323. select for example cell B:2
334. start the DataPilot dialog
34   Data->DataPilot->Start...
355. select "External source/interface -> Ok
366. select the example DataPilot
37   Use the drop down list and select the service
38   "ExampleDataPilotSource" -> Ok
397. Place some number fields in the field areas
40   For example:
41   - select the "ones" field and drop it in the "Row Fields" area
42   - repeat this step with the "tens" and "hundreds" field
43   - select the "thousands" field and drop it in the "Column Fields"
44     area.
45   -> press Ok
468. you see a matrix with rows and colums for the selected fields
47   and a value area with a sum up of all fields valid for this
48   coordinate. For example cell F:21=1221 (ones=B:21=1, tens=c:21=2
49   hundreds=D:21=2 and thousands=F:3=1)
