I am currently working on this feature, so I browsed through the huge number of
comments in this issue. It is really amazing that there is not a SINGLE useful
hint about how to implement this. Well, one statement talks about a check-box,
yes that's a start.
This issue also sometimes make me think that I should close it an open a new
one. There are two people working on a complete re-write of a module which took
very look, admittedly, but which was necessary to do this feature. Obvisouly it
is hard to understand, that first things have to come first. Instead people are
ranting about ignoring users. Just want to remind everybody:
1. OOo is for free, it is open-source. Everybody can participate in its
development. I admit that getting started with OOo development is not easy, but
it is possible, and there have been patch submissions for bugs and features in
the chart already. And nobody who wrote anything into this issue can blame us
for not dealing with this feature for five years. If this was important to you,
you would have had five years to implement this yourself. Should be no problem
(according to those people).
2. OOo is developed in a community. That means that there is no "us" and "you".
"We" do not have the duty to do anything "you" want. "We all" have to work
together in a constructive way. As long as all the (two) developers for the
chart are payed by Sun Microsystems, it should also be clear that the influence
of this company to decide what features are implemented in which order, is quite
high.
3. Most of the people in the world are not scientists. Most of the people
working with OOo don't know what a regression curve is. Even more people don't
know what R^2 is. Just keep this in mind, when thinking about priorities of
features.
->tonygalmiche: Thanks tony for you help with the specification, which actually
is a competetive analysis to Excel. I am not sure if it is wise to always just
copy Excel, but it gives ideas of how other people do it at least.
