These are mainly covered in the [http://graphics.openoffice.org/files/documents/12/3278/List_of_whished_enhancements_for_Charts.odt ''List of wished enhancements for Charts''] (see points ''6.a'' through ''6.m''). There are a number of other chart-types NOT covered in that document, and I will briefly describe those which are critical:
