Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 104749
Area chart with real X-axis wanted (XY-Area)
Last modified: 2013-09-25 20:41:25 UTC
A new chart type is wanted similar to the area chart. In contrast to the current area chart where the x axis is a category axis with equidistant values the new chart type should allow for real x values like known from the XY-Scatter chart type. This issue originates from issue 104250.
Would this explain why the x-axis is always scaled incorrectly and cannot be changed, or would that be a separate issue?
That is exactly this issue. The x axis for current area charts is not scaled. The y-values are displayed just one after the other. If text is provided e.g. in the first column/row they can be used as labels for the axis (categories). With OOo 3.4 Beta I have implemented date axes (see issue 25706). So in case of date values the x axis should be scalable then.
