Bug ID: 156660
Summary: Implement "Step Chart" in Calc
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The "step chart" is a common variation of the line chart that we currently do
not offer in LO Calc. For example, in quality management the p-control chart
draws the control limits using step lines (see attached example).
There are many other data visualization cases (in academia as well as in
companies) where the step chart is useful.
For comparison, MS Excel still does not offer this chart by default, and it is
very hacky to get a step chart in Excel. See for instance:
https://trumpexcel.com/step-chart-in-excel/
However, I could not make the same hack work in LibreOffice.
Given the usefulness of this chart, we should offer it as a variation of the
"Line chart" in the chart wizard.
As for customization options for this chart, I suggest using PyPlot's "step"
chart as inspiration.
