------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 24 14:56:52 -0800 2005 ------- "Plot area" sounds good to me. (I'm not a native English speaker, so my terminology tends to be off the mark anyway.) I'd prefer a terminology that can be uniformly applied to 2D and 3D though. I'd associate "plot area" with the place where the plot actually lives, i.e. for a 3D graph, I'd associate the term with a 3D "area". Maybe "plot background" makes clear that these planes are not in the same place as the plot, but *behind* it. (Maybe even "plot backdrop", but here I'm not too sure about my grasp of English terminology.) With "plot background/backdrop", 3D charts can share terminology for the vertical planes and use their own for the horizontal one, so that should work IMHO. Re "distinguish area 1 and 2": I was trying to find a terminology for the current structure, which most definitely has separate inner and medium areas. (This can be verified by tabbing through the subcomponents of a Chart - fortunately, tabbing *does* work in Chart *g*.) The middle area takes up inner area and axes. I agree that it would be nice if the axes were made subcomponents of the inner area, and the middle area were removed (at least GUI-wise - I have no idea of the technical side of things). However, that's a different issue, and should be filed by somebody with a better understanding of the ramifications. However, *if* an issue is filed, 58159 should be made to depend on it - there's no use discussing terminology until the set of objects that need to be named is nailed down for good! Re "background area": My first association was that a background is the least important thing, which is clearly the (by default) white background of the entire Chart object. The plot background has a background color, a border line, maybe a grid and scales, that's far more than "just a background" (at least in comparison to the boring white background provided by the Chart object). That's just my thinking, of course - I'm happy to agree to disagree here :-))) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
