Ok, I see. But how can we figure out what is its x counterpart? User can have in principle an arbitrary mixture of plot designations for different columns in the spreadsheet maintained. And the only thing that we have at the moment is the plot designation for the column itself, if provided by the user at all. For example, if the user has the following columns x y y x and selects the third column for the plot, what is its x counter part? > What's more.

With plotting of data via the context menu of the spreadsheet you have an easy tool to quickly plot the data, but for this particular spreadsheet only. If we would show also other spreadsheets in this dialog, this will cause confusions in many cases. If you want to plot data from different spreadsheets you need to manually create a plot, add a xy-curve and provide the column data sources. Also similar to the arguments above, we don't have the information about "its corresponding x or y column", that's why we cannot do any magic here. Even if we would allow the user to enter for every column the additional information about the corresposding x/y columns, the user has to maintain this which will result in additional overhead. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
