--- Comment #4 from Devansh Varshney <[email protected]> --- My immediate thought went for adding this as a new chart type when I skim read the request. Now, after looking at what this is and Regina's comment - < My Understanding > 'Stacked Range' Chart Type displays ranges (start and end values) for each category instead of stacking values on top of each other. For example, if our data is [3, 8, 12], each segment of the bar would span from 3 → 8, then 8 → 12, showing the progression or range between consecutive values. Unlike traditional stacked bars (which sum values), this chart emphasizes the distance between data points. Key Points (Simplified): 1 New Chart Type vs. Subtype: - A new chart type (e.g., loext:min-max-bar) is better than a subtype. - Subtypes risk compatibility issues (other office suite might misinterpret them). - ODF allows custom extensions (via loext: namespace), so LibreOffice can define this chart type without breaking standards. (eg - loext:Histogram) 2 How It Works in ODF: - Use chart:class="loext:min-max-bar" to mark the chart type. - Existing apps unaware of this type will default to a basic chart (no crashes). 3 Avoid "Stacked" Terminology: - The term "stacked" implies summed values. This chart shows ranges, so a new name is needed. "range bars"? Likely requires a single series where each bar represents a range (e.g., [min, max] pairs) or multiple series with roles (e.g., values-start/values-end), similar to stock charts? It could be added to the LO. I did ask with Quikee too, but his and my priority right now getting the Histogram Chart working. After that being done, I can work on adding this. Will later discuss the specifics of the ODF markup (e.g., using values-start/values-end roles or a single series with paired data) to finalize the implementation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
