Dear lesha

Let me answer to some of your points:

>I know that this is violating the one issue/one report policy

Indeed. In case you don't know yet: The charts team already has a very long wish
list of things as you describe them here, so there is no need to reopen "just
another" issue for collecting improvement requests.

To issue 1:
This is a duplicate. (Have you checked for duplicates?) I myself already
requested something similar. See issue 16280.

To issue 2:
>0.64   0.25    
>0.94   0.93    
>0.84   0.57    
>0.17   0.63    
>0.57           0.37
>0.95           0.94
>0.96           0.75

I know this is a bit circumstantial and the chart team already knows that as 
well.

> But, even so, I can't have a line connecting the first set of data, but
> not the other. In Excel, on the other hand, there is the data series editor

OpenOffice has that too. Just create a XY line disgram first. Then doubleclick
on one of the lines and a dialog will come up that allows to set the formatting
of exactly this data series. So you can have one with a line and w#one without
(Line style = "Invisible")

To issue 3:
> But, say I create a bar chart with 5 bars, and then I get a 6ths. Now
> I've got to create a new chart and format it again, from the very start.

Sorry, that's not true either. Try following:
When the diagram is not selected. right-click on it. In the popup menu there is
the point "modify data range" There you can change what data is shown. You could
f.e. modify the data range to include the 6th value as well. The formatting
remains unaltered, except that you will have to select the color for the 6th
data series afterwards, of course.

To issue 4:
> There is no way to create a plot with two Y axes, with different scales.

It is possible. But since you didn't find out how to solve issue e, you could
not find the solution for this as well. Here is how to do it.
1. Create a new simple line diagram with two or more data series.
2. Double click on the diagram to activate the edit mode
3. Double click one a data series (either on the line) or on the legend symbol.
4. In the data series dialog that comes up, choose the rightmost tab "options"
and select "show on 2nd Y axis". This axis will appear and you can now scale it
as you wish. (There is however, AFAIK, no possibility to set a description label
for the second y axis.)

To issue 5:
This again is already known to the Chart people.
See f.e. issue 29012 or issue 29444.

> I realize that this is more of a scientific-computing feature request, and so
> don't have too much hope of it being taken seriously.

I hope they take science seriously, because that is one driving force behind
OOo. I'm geographer, f.e. ;-)

Conclusion:
Maybe you know by now, why the "one issue/one report" policy is important -
simply because for the five issues I have found different "solutions":
2 are duplicates and three "work for me".

I will have to close this as "invalid". Sorry. In the future please check more
precise if a similar issue are already filed or if the help tells you how to do
a certain task.
Thanks anyway for caring about OpenOffice and trying to give feedback. We
appreciate that.
