<h2 id="uno-for-function-calling">UNO for function-calling</h2> <p>Examples: an external program can export an <a href="/facts/OpenDocument/pMtcVuNr">ODT</a> file as a <a href="/facts/PDF/C9Mn1vYL">PDF</a> file, or import and convert a <a href="/facts/Office_Open_XML/294uNJrf">DOCX</a>, calling LibreOffice by the UNO interface. Another external program can access a cell and formulas from LibreOffice Calc file. </p><p>Application examples: <i>Docvert</i>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> <i>JODConverter</i>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> <i>unoConv</i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="uno-for-add-ons">UNO for Add-Ons</h2> <p>Programmers can write and integrate their own UNO components to OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Those components can be added to the LibreOffice menus and toolbars; they are called "Add-Ons".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> The Add-Ons can extend the functionality of LibreOffice. </p><p>The integration of new components is supported by some tools and services. The three main steps are as follows:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> </p> <ol><li>Register the new components within LibreOffice. This can be accomplished using the tool unopkg.</li> <li>Integrate the new components as services. The ProtocolHandler and JobDispatch services assist you.</li> <li>Change the user interface (menus or toolbars). This can be done almost automatically by writing an XML text file that describes the changes.</li></ol> <p>Application example: <i>jOpenDocument</i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> Apache OpenOffice <ul><li><a href="http://udk.openoffice.org/">UNO Development Kit project page</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.openoffice.org/udk/common/man/uno.html">Overview and technical details</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/java/ref/overview-summary.html">Java overview-summary</a></li> <li><a href="http://api.openoffice.org/SDK/index.html">OpenOffice.org Software Development Kit</a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080501062521/http://odftoolkit.openoffice.org/transition.html">ODF Toolkit: Transition Steps</a></li> <li><a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide">Developer's Guide</a></li></ul> LibreOffice <ul><li><a href="http://api.libreoffice.org/docs/tools.html">see unoexe and unopkg</a></li> <li><a href="https://chris-sherlock.gitbook.io/inside-libreoffice/universal-network-objects">Inside LibreOffice: Universal Network Objects</a></li></ul> Language bridges (native for Java and Python) <ul><li><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/">UNO for Object REXX</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.wstech2.net/index.php?do=0a,01,05">UNO for PHP (written in C++)</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160304003131/http://www.wstech2.net/index.php?do=0a,01,05">Archived</a> 4 March 2016 at the <a href="/facts/Wayback_Machine/nmQ3a6JC">Wayback Machine</a></li> <li><a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/uno-pas-bridge/">UNO for FreePascal/Delphi</a> maybe orphaned</li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Loeschky, Dieter; Shanmugam Senthil (2001).
