Hi Tony,

Hello all,
It's my first message on this list. I'm the co-leader of the French
native langue project and I'm the author of this document « Ehnancements
about charts » :
-> http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=61147
Thanks for that great document. I think it will help users and
developers a lot to find out what is still missing in the chart. This
will help to avoid many duplicate issues, it will make voting easier as
the respective issue can be found faster and it will help interested
developers to look for an area they would like to work on.
For information the last version in French of this document is here :
-> http://fr.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=260
I am sorry to say that my French is much too bad to be able to read the
latest version.
I would like integrated this page
http://graphics.openoffice.org/chart/featurewishes.html on my document
but I don't understand all points.
I am very happy to here that you are working on that. The quality of our
current feature document is very poor and I would be happy to replace it
completely with a link to a translated version of your document if you
agree.
I would like a complement of informations of this point or the number of
issue :
1 - Net chart: allow negative values
I think this is superfluous already so just ignore it.
2 - Custom increment for logarithmic axis
This refers to Issue 26869:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=26869
The issue is already fixed in the chart reimplementation. The
specification is still missing but Jörg Wartenberg has offered to write it.
2 - Anti-aliasing!
This refers to the sometimes bad rendering of the chart. The issue is 16771:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16771
I think this should not be in the feature list, because it is a bug.
4 - Offer option to disconnect / reconnect external data from / to a
chart. E.g. copy a chart via clipboard from Calc to Draw. The chart
inside the draw still gets the data from the Calc document. But it
should be possible to disconnect the data, so that the chart has its own
data.
These are two related features:
1) It should be possible to get the data for a chart from a separat
document (a linked document).
2) If a chart does not have own data but gets it from somewhere else it
should be possible to import the data from there into the charts own
data and henceforth use this copied own data.
There are no issues for these features yet.
5 - Make it possible to plot error-bars for x-values as well as
y-values. Allow errors for error bars to come from a data source, e.g.,
a column or row of a spreadsheet.
These are two features:
1) Offer error bars in x direction ( so far error bars always refer to
the y direction). There is no issue yet.
2) Allow values for error bars to come from spreadsheet data. This
refers to the oldest and most voted chart issue 366:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=366
6 - New Data Editor
So far charts can have data from a spreadsheet, from a writer table or
they can have its own data which than can be edited within a chart
specific own data dialog (this is e.g. for charts in impress the case).
This chart data dialog has very poor possibilities and there have been
thoughts inbetween to replace it completely.
Currently there is a specification ongoing to enhance this data dialog
instead of replacing it:
http://specs.openoffice.org/chart/ChartDataDialog.odt
7 - Enable selection with Tab-key through all chart elements
This is superfluous already so just skip it.
PS : Sorry for my bad English and thank you very much for the
development of chart2 : http://graphics.openoffice.org/chart/chart.html
:-) Thanks a lot. And don't worry about your English, I have no problem
with understanding it (at least I think so ;-)). By the way - I am also
not a native speaker as you might have noticed.
Ingrid
