Description IngridvdM 2010-11-30 15:09:24 UTC 
In CWS chart46 date axis are introduced for charts (with feature issue 25706).
For charts of type bar, column, line, area, stock and column&line it is now
possible to use date values as categories. If so by default the x-axis is
automatically switched to a date axis. The user can make some additional
settings on the scale tab page of the axis. With the 'resolution' list box the
user can choose the smallest time interval to be shown on the axis ( days,
months or years). For the major and minor interval the user also can choose
typical time intervals: x days, months or years.
Specification: http://specs.openoffice.org/chart/ChartAxisScale.odt
For charts with own data the Chart Data Table dialog has gotten an additional
button to switch between date and text axis.

The new feature and the new controls need documentation. Thanks a lot in advance!
Comment 1 IngridvdM 2010-12-01 10:34:55 UTC 
The first control on the axis scale tab page (the check box 'Reverse direction')
has gotten different HelpIds for different types of axis. This allows for
separate documentations for the different axis types:

For normal value axis (typically the y-axis, but also the x-axis in a xy chart):
chart2:CheckBox:TP_SCALE:CBX_REVERSE:ValueAxis

For category axis, that also might be date axis (those are the x-axis within the
following chart types: bar, column, area, line, stock und column&line):
chart2:CheckBox:TP_SCALE:CBX_REVERSE:MayBeDateAxis

Otherwise (x-axis of net chart):
chart2:CheckBox:TP_SCALE:CBX_REVERSE:Category
Comment 2 IngridvdM 2010-12-01 11:00:54 UTC 
The previously used HelpId
chart2:CheckBox:TP_SCALE:CBX_REVERSE
is not used within the charts dialogs anymore. Please remove references to it.

Changed files schart/01/05040201.xhp and schart/01/03010000.xhp in CWS hcshared29
Comment 4 IngridvdM 2011-01-19 19:08:32 UTC 
Just for the records, the behavior of the charts own data table has been changed
again. The toggle button was removed. See issue 116467. The help was already
adapted again. Thank you Uwe!
Comment 5 Uwe Fischer 2011-01-20 12:40:04 UTC 
issue removed from CWS because the feature is not yet integrated, so Help cannot
be tested
Comment 6 Uwe Fischer 2011-01-21 12:27:48 UTC
