Andy <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |UNCONFIRMED Ever confirmed|1 |0 --- Comment #7 from Andy <[email protected]> --- The request was concerning specifying an old version where the behaviour was different, I think. I am sorry but I am not really able to fulfill it, so I cannot assure if it is a regression or not. However, As I tried to explain, the data labels applied to a bar chart with a single series of bars in % format all = 100% make no sense; and even when the bar series are more than one, % would be more useful if measured the relevance of a bar within its series, not, as it is now of a bar within the bars of related to the same item. Of course, best thing would be being able to choose. Let me put out an example: suppose you are representing the distribution of some group with respect to political opinion; say this can be left, center-left, center-right or right. If you want to show this with a bar chart, and 23% of the group say ther're center-left oriented, you would like to see this figure at the top of the bar. Now suppose you have counted people by political opinion distinguishing males from females; you will have two bars for center-left, one for male and the other for females. If oyu want to compare opinion of males and females, you are more interested to know that, AMONG MALES, say 18% are center-left, while the same ratio AMONG FEMALES is instead higher, say 29%. What you will get now instead are 2 figures telling you that, AMONG THOSE WHO ARE CENTER-LEFT, 18/(18+29)= 38,3% are males and 61,7% are females. Thi could be of some interest as well, but the first information is IMHO more important, and it is the one expected in such case, I would say. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
