------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Nov 16 13:52:03 +0000 2007 ------- I mostly use OOo.org, but when I needed to produce scientific grade figures/diagrams I found OOo.org weak. I stumbled upon the application gnumeric which according to me provides the user with the outmost control when editing diagrams. In short, make diagrams editable in an "advanced" way along with the traditional way of editing. There could for example be an "Advanced edit" option when you right click on a diagram. This option should present the contents of the diagram in the way gnumeric does. What gnumeric does is present all part of a diagram i a kind of tree-like structure, probably based on the underlying xml for the diagram. Here you can add, remove and control almost every bit of the diagram. It can be somewhat slow, but your in total control. I doubt there is more functionality in gnumeric. It is just the way you can access the functionality I really like. I find that calc is not very intuitive when editing diagrams. I find I need to click and double click in and out of diagrams a lot to access different parts, and I find it difficult to actually remember all the steps. A friend of mine swore you could not add trend lines in calc, but of course you can. You just need to double click in the diagram, then double click on a data-series in such a way that the data-series is selected and not just a single point. Then right mouse button... And if you miss one click you need to start all over again by clicking outside the diagram... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
