Revision as of 19:22, 10 August 2007

Simplify creation of charts - new Chart Wizard ( Autoformat Chart Dialog)

Description : The chart creation procedure has been simplified to take less steps. The chart is positioned automatically and serves as live preview. A new wizard offers to select the chart type as first user action. The type can be selected on a single page. There is no need to switch between pages or scroll around anymore. The chart type dialog has been replaced thus it now equals the new first wizard page.

Flexible source ranges - Add option, to select x-values for different y-values / columns separately

Description : Allow users to associate source-ranges of spreadsheet data to single chart-objects in different roles, like the x-values of a data-series in a scatter chart. Especially different data series with different x-values are commonly used in competitor's applications.

Show formula and r^2 value of regression curve in status bar and quick help

Description : When a regression curve in a chart is selected, the status bar now shows the formula and the square of correlation coefficient R in the status bar. The same string is also used for quick help, but only in the extended version (see Tools/Options/%PRODUCTNAME/General for switching that on)

Simplify and correct the 3D-Effects dialog for charts

Description : For charts the old 3D effects dialog is replaced by a new dialog concentrating on the features relevant for charts.

Right angle axes option for 3D charts

Description : With the new right-angled axes option the user can easily ensure that the axes in a 3D chart are exactly vertical or horizontal. This simplified display looks comfortable and allows for more accurate reading. New charts are now created per default with this option.

Simple 3d look: 3D-Chart looking less confusing (alternative mode)

Description : It is now possible to easily switch to a more simple 3D look in charts with no shading and lines on.

Illumination default setting

  • Description : The defaults for illumination were changed to fit the new simplified 3D look with right-angled axes.

Offer exploded 3D Pies (segment Offset for 3D Pies)

Description : Segments of 3D pies or donuts now can be pulled out to stress single data points. The new chart types '3D exploded pie' and 'exploded donut' are offered in the new chart type dialog and wizard

More pretty default colors

Description : The twelve default colors used for creating new charts have changed to a set of new colors. The colors are the winner (proposal #2) of a voting where twelve different proposals have been made, to vote for. The colors have been changed in the Registry schema file Chart.xcs. They were also added to the standard color palette (standard.soc).

Free choice of minimum and maximum for Logarithmic scale

Description : Logarithmic scales have been enhanced. The user is free to choose manual minimum and maximum values as well as a user defined major interval. Thus for example audio engineers now can display their log charts from typical 20 to 20000 Hz.

Enhancement of the data editor

  • Description : For Charts that display their own data there is a dialog for editing the data. The Chart Data dialog is capable to modify, add and delete data that is used in data series and for categories. It is also possible to add and remove entire data series. All parts of a data series' data can be changed with this dialog. Charts with own data are typically those in a presentation. Although they can also appear in a spreadsheet, there, they usually use data coming from sheets
