Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61487
3d pie chart doesn't remember the depth
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:20:47 UTC
I created a 3d pie chart in calc, and I changed its depth (I set it to 2 cm, in 3d effects), then went back to the spreadsheet, then when I tried to edit the chart again, the depth was back to its default 3.33cm.
Created attachment 33767 [details] sample chart
Exact steps to reproduce: 1. open the attached document 2. double-click the chart 3. right-click, click "3d effects" 4. change depth to 2 cm, assign and close (depth is now 2cm) 5. click in a spreadhseet cell (depth is now 2cm) 6. double-click the chart (depth is now 3.33cm)
confirmed with m154 on WinXP Pro SP2
Confirmed. Seems to be an Chart Issue. Drawing Objects works fine. ->BM: Another one for the next CWS?
The depth is not really implemented in Chart. The problem is that the 3d effects dialog offers the extrusion depth and we cannot disable this feature there. The problem with this feature is that the effects dialog applies an extrusion depth to a single drawing shape. You can for example set the extrusion of a bar in a deep bar chart. Then you might get interleaving bars, which usually is not what you want. You can also set the depth of the floor. The problem with draw shapes is that they are, in principle, only temporary view objects used for rendering. Changing them does not automatically influence the model (basically the stuff that is saved in a file). So, I would change this issue to Feature for OOo 3.0. There, we think about a specification about which objects will offer a depth property, and in what range it has to lie (A depth of "2cm" makes less sense and is less usable than "20%" of a defined maximum depth.) Note, that for the file format there exist "draw:extrusion-depth" in the "draw-enhanced-geometry-attlist" as well as "dr3d:depth" in the "style-graphic-properties-attlist". But we should probably use a new "chart:depth" or "chart:object-depth" property. Be careful not to mix up with the existing boolean property "chart:deep" for deep stacking in 3d charts.
Changed Target to 2.x
later
change owner
reset to new
The original problem does not exist anymore as it is not possible to change the thickness of the pie anymore within the user interface (since OOo 2.3 ). There exist a new request to manipulate the thickness again. As the user interface has changed so much I exceptionally set this older bug as duplicate to the newer issue. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 107305 ***
