------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jul 19 22:32:35 -0700 2006 ------- I like the idea of selecting data first, and then the chart-type. A good charting program would sugest a fitting chart type fitting your data. This would also avoid the problems with line- and scatter-charts. However, I think the Series-tab of the QP wizard is not very nice. First, it seems to be limited to 6 series (maybe there comes a scrollbar with additional series if you entered data for the first 6 series?). In general, I think you don't need more than 5 series, but I think 10 might also still be realistic. So, why limit where it is not necessary. Second, you have x-axis. These are the category strings if you have e.g. a bar-chart. If you have numbers these are x-values? So, you cannot have numbers as categories? Maybe the concept of categories vs. non-equidistant x-values should not bother the user, but in this dialog I think you don't see what kind of x-axis you have. E.g., on page 8 of the attached pdf, if the years would not all be 10 years apart, but instead of 1990 you would have 2000. Would there be a larger gap on the x-axis? Third, "Legend" seems to mean the names of the series. It looks like you need one contiguous range containing all series names, the series below are unassociated to the legend, whereas in reality they are. Each row/column of measured data has a label, which might be very important. So, I like it better to have the label directly assoziated to the series. At last, but not least, you only have one sequence per data series. This is a limitation we want to get rid of especially with Issue 3997. If two data series have different x-values, the QP dialog cannot handle this. We also have candle-stick charts with "open", "low", "high" and "close" values instead of four series that just have "y-values" and their role has to be guessed by a user. So, a series can have 4 sequences as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
