------- Additional comments from evila...@openoffice.org Sat Aug 22 16:15:29 +0000 2009 ------- I just finished designing the layout for a rather large spreadsheet, encompassing about 150 columns. These columns needed to be sequentially color-coded, primarily, to signfy the data's logical categorizations. For such circumstances, it would be terribly wonderful if cells could be assigned dynamic color gradients. For example, one could assign a starting gradient RGB for Column A RGB, and an ending gradient RGB for Column B (or whatever columns you'd like). For rows, just the same: Row start RGB through Row end RGB. Calc would then dynamically ensure that the columns or rows in between the gradients were colored as specified. through Column B, or Row 1 RGB through Row 2 RGB). >From a performance perspective, it would be economical for such a formatting to be a simple one-time process, rather than *maintaining* this dynamic gradient. So, e.g., if you add or remove a column or row after you already effected this gradient, the formatting (including color) inheritence would behave as normal, etc. Graphically, it certainly appears to me that the Format Cells> Background tab certainly has a little extra realestate to develop. This enhancement is somewhat related to another Enhancement suggestion of mine, entitled "General Enhancements to Options> OpenOffice.org> Colors" Thanks for reading! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
