Feature: Add Charts to Word documents #179

Would it be possible to support adding charts to Word documents?

From skimming the OOXML standard, it seems that both Word and Excel files use DrawingML to represent charts, so it might be possible to use code from http://www.python-excel.org/

python-pptx has charting and is based on the same architecture as python-docx. If you're game for building this out I'd start there.

As already mentioned, libraries like python-pptx, xlsxwriter, ... already handle charts object. Why not python-docx ? This feature is a must have and I bet the community would really appreciate to see it arrive.

Since this is a library that claims to handle .docx documents, "read the code from others and try to do the same" is not really an answer to the issue (OP is asking for a python-docx feature) :)

Great work though.
