You mean like this?

Where the lines are all slited?

I agree.  It is very hard to get the lines to be straight - I tried using
free rotate, I tried  using the numerical interface - it just doesn't seem
to explain what it's doing.  And there's no obvious way to make it at a 90
degree angle or a 45 degree angle or anything like that.  There's tons of
controls - but they don't really say what they do.  And changing one a small
number (like 1 to 2) makes a huge difference, while changing others a huge
number (like 24 to  240) doesn't show much change at all.

I don't know what to tell you.  Maybe try http://www.openofficetips.com/ -
they have a lot of info on Calc (which is what I was using to make the chart
that I then pasted into Impress) - this post in particular may help - but I
didn't read i all the way through.
