accepted *** Issue 36425 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 36433 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** iha->bm: Please take over. This is a very useful feature. Is any work being done on this? We (Largo) are getting some grief over this missing feature. You should be able to resize in the "Position And Size" UI and also by grabbing the green corner handles and stretching it larger. change owner *** Issue 93147 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** Anything happening about this. It's seriously annoying. Some like size 5 text that I can't change where some is like size 26 or something. I think the obvious way for this is that the font automatically adepts to the selected size of the legent. Maybe also the space between lines. That way I can easily adjust those two parameters by just draging the green handles, which I think would be very convenient. No, I'm definietly not your opinion. That way it would decrease your possibilities and block you doing the layout the way YOU want. If you change the font size with the site of the egend, you can't control wether it should word-wrap or not. You yhould be able to control the font size for Legends, and you simply should be able to resize the legend-> that resizing should then automatically word-wrap the lines. It's already simple to change legend text size. It might be nice to scale legend text size with legend size. But it's hardly critical. The important thing is allow the user to set an arbitrary legend size, especially one with narrow width and larger height to force labels into one column (one symbol per line) rather than the inflexible current layout with all symbols in a single row. And, changing the legend font size should NOT change the legend size. this issue is quite annoying. Being not able to modify manually the size of the legend lead to unnecessary wrapping of word inside it. I sustain comment ------- Additional comments from fmyhr Sun Apr 19 21:30:08 +0000 2009 ------- The most important thing is allow the user to set legend size Eech! I came across this limitation this morning. Not good. The Community may want to work on things like the Renaissance project, but until basic items like this are addressed, using Open Office will remain frustrating. This issue has my vote! This bug really makes OOo inferior to it's counterpart from MS.. I Hope that's will be fixed soon. I agree with everyone that this is seriously annoying. Is there any work-around to this? cd: Add myself on CC. hmm. i really hoped that with chart2 issues like this would be long gone... i'm attaching a screenshot to explain the annoyance level users can expect to reach when using charts Created attachment 65538 [details]
a bit braindead autosize that can not be overridden
I considered myself a happy "conversion" story until I stumbeled with this, I'm sticking with openoffice for my thesis, but I hope I don't regret it. I've been having a really hard time navigating around this one. I also thried Gnumeric for charting but I can't make it display the values in the (for example) bars of the bar chart... I'd apreciate it if someone solved this, thanks This feature would also help for regressions like Issue 80377 It's not so much the resizing itself, than changing the layout between one row and to (or more) rows, what should be modifyable by the user. The detail of the changes discussed here are hiding the wood from the trees. When you have developed a diagram or chart that is good, you want to use it (for us in a report in Writer). That means working with all the format options of the chart to increase readiblity and impact (line colours/thicknesses, axis labelling, etc). The legends associated with lines/objects are essential to readibility. But their main format characteristics cannot be directly edited in OpenOffice. The format characteristics can be changed by the autoformating routines, so why is it impossible to provide an interface for direct user interaction. I cannot get the "look" I want easily, if at all. This leaves a bad taste. I want to be able to change char size, dimensions of legend, layout of legends, line breaks within legends, dimension of legend box. In short, I want to be able to use the standard format tools on the legends as if they were text objects. I first submitted requests for changes in Chart after working with Office 1, and legend formatting was one of them. It is now Office v3.1 and the issue remains unresolved. Surely the time has come for Chart issues to rise in priority. *** Issue 109464 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** It is really annoying. As a result I had to search and use another program to draw the same chart for my work. I'm shocked. Please, solve this. Or give the ability to place in the chart any simple text-box. This is really annoying. Nice looking graph, shit looking legend. I registered for the express purpose of voting on this! A problem since 2005? I'm currently using scalc for spreadsheet. However, because of the inability to change chart legend objects I have to save in xls format, then use Excel to edit chart legends. Pain in the ... My company will not switch to OpenOffice until this is fixed, even though I've pretty much sold management on the change. So we still pay for M$ Office which keeps a lot of people here from even trying OpenOfficeOrg as long as M$ is available. This is not an annoyance here - this is a blocker preventing adoption of OO. had this problem just now, too - first time i created a graph with oo. all went good until trying to format the legend at the end. this is really annoying and stops me from using it for other graphs. please fix it! had this problem just now, too - first time i created a graph with oo. all went good until trying to format the legend at the end. this is really annoying and stops me from using it for other graphs. please fix it!

Intermediate result as done on the "Hackfest". Still a lot of other changes are needed, but working on it has started :)
cc me. Can you provide instructions on how to apply this patch? I'm willing to bug report for it but not sure how to get it applied :) I'm running OpenOffice 3.3 RC1 Can you provide instructions on how to apply this patch? I'm willing to bug report for it but not sure how to get it applied :) I'm running OpenOffice 3.3 RC1 on Ubuntu 10.10 @regina, CWS chart52 is created and the patch applied, so we can work there further :-) I hope to finish my current feature implementation soon, so I can concentrate on this one then. @jmadero, the patch is something that needs to be applied to the code and then be compiled. It is nothing that can be applied to an office installation directly, sorry. But thanks for the offer to test! :-) However this is a very early state in development, somewhat to early for broader testing. Excel import/export of XLS and import of XLSX/XLSM/XLSB implemented. Fixed in CWS chart52. Votes currently 124. That is just great :-) That's one more key issue fixed! Wow, great news. Thank you very much to whoever fixed it. :) Created attachment 75787 [details]
Testdocuments and test descriptions and intermediate results
Thanks a lot Regina! Thomas, please have a look at Reginas test descriptions and results. I think this is a very good basis for the test case specifications. Please verify in CWS chart52. Integration looks fine, follow up issue for import written (i116825), TCS written, can be found into QUASTe Seen ok into the master -> closed |
