Hi Jay, the styles system in LibreOffice is really powerful (and outstanding compared to MS Office), but has not really been improved in recent years (it lacks picture styles, document styles, colour sets, table styles and chart styles). With regard to chart styles, there are existing synergies with character, paragraph and frame styles, e.g. for chart headings, sub-headings, axis descriptions, legend, legend frames, chart frames, etc. It would be a pity if that is being duplicated. Also, a predefined set of colours is something which has synergies beyond charts, because it should be also possible to have the same default colours sets for drawings as for charts (when color sets will exist). I understand that the chart edit mode might make it difficult (impossible?) to implement it with the existing styles system. But it would be also a pity, if LibreOffice makes with table styles, color sets and chart styles the same mistake like with "auto-formats" for Writer tables. This system was 100% not integrated in the styles system. Not even the logic behind... Thanks for every progress on chart styles (and others like table styles)! I think it would be great if the system would allow to "switch" a chart from one chart style with one click to another chart style. Imaging if you have a publication with dozens of charts for an online publication in color and then for the print publication in greyscale. At the moment, this takes ages to reformat those charts in LO. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
