He has two choices, he can implement it himself (it's open source) or he can submit an official feature request and let the community vote for it (a high vote count can be a good indicator for a fast implementation) and when somebody else volunteer to implement it the feature will find it's way into the product.

Life can be so simple ;-)

What's the point? The relevant issue is #5289, http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5289, and it has been open since May 26, 2002. That's almost four years! It's also closely related to http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=366, which has been open since Feb 2, 2001 (over 5 years!), and http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7998, open since Oct 1, 2002.

So basically, if you can't code it yourself, and very, very, few people can, you really have no choice but to use the competitor's product.

On the bright side, there is some indication that this will be addressed when the new Charting component hits the streets. But your guess is as good as mine as to when that will appear.
