--- Comment #3 from chtfn <[email protected]> ---
This would be a great addition to the chart feature.
It is still a problem in LO 4.1.2.3
I often create XY charts with dozens of data series, and I always find that the
thickness of the lines make the chart not readable. I nearly always want to
change the line styles, remove the icons and create colour categories as well,
which takes a ridiculous amount of time when each line has to be modified
separately.

As Cor said, a first step (probably simpler to implement) would be to be able
to go to "Tools > Options > Charts" and choose not only the default colours,
but all the parameters available in "Format > Data series > Line tab" (line
style, width, transparency, icon...).

Another thing that needs to be implemented, which could come next or at the
same time, would be to be able to select several data series (with ctrl +
click) in order to give them the same format (and the values of parameters that
differ from one data series to another can be greyed out until modified, like
we can see consistently in other formatting menus).

Finally, the most comprehensive (but still complimentary) solution would be to
implement chart styles so users can create and save their favourite styles, and
so a modification of one style impacts on all the charts that follow it, in
case auto-update is chosen. This would be very useful in large data files that
contain several charts that need to look as consistent as possible.
