Description yourcat 2003-10-24 10:33:01 UTC 
When creating an XY chart that should plot 2 functions,
it is not possible to have independent X values for the
functions. It is a paramount requirement when plotting 
data where the sample points are not identical, often
occuring in scientific, engineering and business applications.

Both Excel'97 and ApplixWare 4.2 can have separate X series for
each data set it plots on a chart, the different data sets do not
have to even consist of the same number of data point pairs.

I attach an Excel'97 spreadsheet with a chart on it. In excel
it shows 2 functions (a parabola and an exponential). After importing
in OOo the chart is actually empty. The chart is not reproducible
in OOo at all.

Sorry, I accidentally sent it as DEFECT,
I hope I can change it to FEATURE.

Agreed, for many applications the functionality is totally inadequate.
For example, I tried to plot an XY chart of a bond repayment based on
the number of months and the amount repayed. I needed an XY so that
the number of months don't all have to be spaced evenly. I was
surprised that this is not possible in OpenOffice.org
