[libreoffice-users] what's the best way to make charts of spreadsheet data
I just made a chart of some data in LibreOffice Calc and was disappointed both by the process (very slow) and by the results (apparent lack of ability to modify the view). I've used spreadsheets and LO Calc specifically sporadically over the years to make calculations but wouldn't call myself an expert. I can't remember the last time I tried to make a chart. So I'm wondering if I've missed something in LO that would help me have a better experience with this chart, or if there are better tools to use to draw charts from spreadsheet data. I'm running Version 6.1.3.2 of LibreOffice (actually the openSUSE build for Leap 15.0). I'm running a machine with an i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz and 8 GB main memory. It's normally fast enough for whatever I want to do. My spreadsheet data is in columns. Column A is the dates and column B is the times. Then ten columns of humidity data and eleven columns of temperature data. There are currently just over 5000 rows of samples. Making the chart was extremely slow. Every time I changed the Name of a line of the chart I had to wait whilst it cycled through several steps to make the change. Initially when I removed some empty columns from the data range, it took an age to do so. etc. Now I've created the chart and got some reasonable lines across it, but what I hope are the dates and times along the X axis are just a mess and I've no idea how to make them display usefully. The Y-axis is reasonable from 0 to 120, although it would be nice to trim the blank space at the top a bit, since the data can't exceed 100. I haven't found any way to select individual points on the chart to display the detailed value of that point or all the values at that time. Nor do I see a way to temporarily hide individual data lines to more clearly see other particular lines, for example. If there's any way to do these things with an LO chart, and to speed it up, I'd be grateful for any pointers. Or if there are better options out there that can read .ods or .csv and display charts, that would also be interesting.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Cell style background colour
We have some places where the new palette handling is still missing [1]. Actually the task was way too hard for a GSoC student and we have some minor regressions. I hope the benefit of the new workflow compensate for it. Good news is that this issue got fixed recently [2] and it will be included in the upcoming release 6.2. So please be patient one more month - or download the release candidate [3].
