Description philmperry 2003-07-13 04:11:46 UTC 
Excel offers various 2D and 3D variants of its exploded pie charts. I do not
have Excel to play with, so I don't know if they've implemented the following
type of pie charting I'm about to describe. I believe that a more general and
intuitive way would be for exploded pie charts (both 2D and 3D) to take an
additional column of data. This data would be 0 for unexploded slice and 1 for
an exploded slice. If some value(s) are "N" instead of 1, the corresponding pie
slice would be exploded by something proportional to N (I don't know what units
N would be in). This would permit arbitrary slices (other than just slice 1) to
be exploded, multiple slices to be exploded at once, and (if Ns given instead of
1s) slices to be exploded by arbitrary amounts. The advantage of using an
additional data column is that the 0/1/N values could be determined by a formula
instead of being fixed. Note that this would not apply to ring or donut type pie
charts.

It´s not a bug, it´s an support request.

I'm confused as to why this would be considered a "support request". I
was suggesting a new and improved way of creating exploded pie charts,
where arbitrary segments (even under formula control) could be
exploded. Does this feature already exist? It should be fairly simple
to implement, if not. In fact, the whole thing is so obvious that it's
probably not even a new idea, but it would make for a nice improvement
over Excel's charting.

Apparently Excel lets you point to a pie slice to be exploded. I don't
know if more than one can be done. If only one data range is given and
the user selects a pie chart, offer the ability to point to one (or
more) slices to explode them. Perhaps there would be two subchoices --
unexploded and exploded (where the user would point to the slice(s) to
explode), in addition to radar/net plot. If two data ranges are given,
offer a choice between exploded pie chart (using the second range as
described above), ring/donut chart, or radar/net chart.
If three or more data ranges are given, offer a choice between
ring/donut chart and radar/net chart.

It´s an very special feature for pie charts.
BH-> what do you think about this?

This feature is planned for OO.o 2.0. Please have a look at the
concerning product concept document issue 20321.
