Simple chart example needed

Question

Hi
I'm looking for a simple example of how to create a chart in XML Publisher. So far all my attempts have failed (and I've been trying for two days). In fact simple examples would be of use in all Oracle's pages.
I have tried my own XML data, data from the XML Publisher forums, etc. but the chart wizard either comes up with a Java error or the chart has only one series showing.
Is there a specific format that the chart xml has to be in? Do you have to use a grouping?
The XML Publisher Desktop "Template Builder for Word Tutorial.doc" file mentions the "RetailSales.xml" file and explains how to create a chart with this, but sadly this file is nowhere to be found in the installation directory or the web.
A simple step by step example somewhere would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot for a wonderfull tool like XML Publisher, by the way.
Thanks

Checkout the CoDash.rtf file from the xmlpserver\reports\Executive\Sales Dashboard folder. This report is standard there when you installed XML Publisher Enterprise Edition.
This report contains several charts and all the definitions of the chart are location in the properties of the chart under the Web tab.
eg.
chart:
<Graph graphType="PIE">
<Title text="" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>
<LocalGridData rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'SALESREP'))}" colCount="1">
<RowLabels>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="SALESREP">
<xsl:sort select="SALESREP"/>
<Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/SALESREP"/></Label>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowLabels>
<DataValues>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="SALESREP">
<xsl:sort select="SALESREP"/>
<RowData>
<Cell><xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/ORDER_TOTAL)"/></Cell>
</RowData>
</xsl:for-each-group> </DataValues>
</LocalGridData>
</Graph>
for a pie chart
