[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56375] [octave forge] (io) odswrite writes zeros for NA and NaN

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #56375 (project octave):

@Mike:

ODF toolkit, jOpendocument: simply add the required jars to the javaclasspath.

chk_spreadsheet_support ("/full/path/to/jars", 3) gives full details (debug
detail level 3) of required and found files.

LO: is different, something like chk_spreadsheet_support ("", 3,
"/full/path/to/libreoffice") should/might work.
IIRC the trick is to find where soffice.bin resides and feed that or the
containing libreoffice/ subdir to chk_spreadsheet_support.m (but its a long
time ago I touched that code, esp. for Linux boxes. It has been working
flawlessly for years now on my Windows boxes so I never had to look).

The bug itself is probably easy to fix for the OCT interface, I guess
somewhere in <io>/private/__OCT_oct2ods__.m, probably in the switch stmt
around L. 238 or maybe L.217.
It is fairly complicated code because .ods is a very very complicated format.

I'll look at it when I'm back after next week.
