------- Additional comments from rnhainswo...@openoffice.org Mon Nov 2 07:18:19 +0000 2009 ------- The detail of the changes discussed here are hiding the wood from the trees. When you have developed a diagram or chart that is good, you want to use it (for us in a report in Writer). That means working with all the format options of the chart to increase readiblity and impact (line colours/thicknesses, axis labelling, etc). The legends associated with lines/objects are essential to readibility. But their main format characteristics cannot be directly edited in OpenOffice. The format characteristics can be changed by the autoformating routines, so why is it impossible to provide an interface for direct user interaction. I cannot get the "look" I want easily, if at all. This leaves a bad taste. I want to be able to change char size, dimensions of legend, layout of legends, line breaks within legends, dimension of legend box. In short, I want to be able to use the standard format tools on the legends as if they were text objects. I first submitted requests for changes in Chart after working with Office 1, and legend formatting was one of them. It is now Office v3.1 and the issue remains unresolved. Surely the time has come for Chart issues to rise in priority. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
