Thanks again in any event, Jonathan I would need the file and the inserted picture (if any) and a screen-shot that shows the problem. Can you upload those somewhere? I've got the file. Blurring is the way the picture is stretched to fit the whole area. This stretching is nowadays done with smooth transition. In older OOo versions it was done by pixel enlarging. This stretching does not react on the antialiasing setting, so there is no way to avoid it. I've not looked whether an enhancement request exists, that the user can choose the way the stretching is done. In the current situation you need to make a bitmap as high as the chart area to avoid stretching.

[libreoffice-users] Custom Bitmap for Chart Wall?
I'd like to fill the wall of my chart with a custom bitmap of my own creation. But when I double-click my chart, then click menu Format Chart Wall... Area tab Bitmap popup item Blank pattern, I can't edit this pattern, even though LibreOffice Help entry bitmaps;patterns seems to suggest that I should be able to. Any suggestions?

Area tab Bitmap popup item Blank pattern, I can't edit this pattern, even though LibreOffice Help entry bitmaps;patterns seems to suggest that I should be able to. Any suggestions? Try this: 1. In chart editing mode draw a rectangle into the chart. If the drawing toolbar is not visible, you can activate it via View - Toolbars. 2. From the context menu of the rectangle choose the item 'area'. 3. On the dialog page 'Bitmaps' click on 'import' and select the picture of your choice or use the pattern editor to make some simple dot-bitmap. 4. If you want this bitmap for further documents, you have to save the bitmap list. 5. Close the dialog. 6. Delete the rectangle. Now you should have your own bitmap in the bitmap list.

Any suggestions? o Open a (new) drawing (Draw) document. o Go to Format | Area... | Bitmaps. o Here you can import an existing bitmap from a file or create and name a new one. Your new bitmap will now be available in Calc, but you may have to close and reopen your spreadsheet document before it appears. I trust this helps.
