------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri May 27 12:31:23 -0700 2005 ------- I apologize for bringing this up since I know it was brought up before (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6277 , http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18204) but I adding a histogram chart option to the chart wizard make sense to me. I know the functionality is there using FREQUENCY() and a bar graph, but this is not intuitive enough for most users/occasions where you have a listing of data/grades and want to see a distribution. I think MS Excel won against Lotus 123 because it was more intuitive to use for the naive user, and I think Excel and OOoCalc are guilty of taking a common and simple graph and making it a pain to create. I usually end up exporting information in a CSV file to MATLAB for plotting as a histogram. I can't believe my primary use of MATLAB is for plotting histograms, and that I'm not the only one who does this. There is a macro for OOoCalc created by Andy Lewis that creates a histogram available (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ooomacros/BoxPlotsHistograms_1-0.zip?download) but it does not handle alphanumeric's (A+,A,A-,B+,etc). I know this may seem like a pointless request because the functionality is already there, but I must repeat that it is not intuitive enough for most users. I wouldn't mind becoming familiar with OOo development to add such a useful feature.
