Description tuharsky 2004-06-21 19:30:13 UTC
I created sample table.
First I created chart typrectangular. As You can see, it takes the data values
as the same group of data. (picture 1)
Then I changed the char type to cake. What happens? Now it distinguishes the
data and gives them different colours and different legend titles (pic 2).
I change to other type of rectangular chart -colors are gone and legend shows
just one type of data (pic 3).

Let's see, how it applyes to created chart. I set the chart to display values,
and to display them as percentage. For cake, it shows different data with
different colours and the correct percentage (pic 4).

But I change the chart type to cake -and colours are gone again, and the
percentage shows for all data the same value: 100%! (pic5) I deleted the legend,
but logically, it was the same (one colour one row).

I needed to represent some data in rectangular chart and instead of correct
values and different colours, it shows one colour, 100%. But while I wanted to
make more snapshots, I opened the file again and wow! The rectangular chart now
represent colour too! Why it didn't before? (pic 6)

For the last subtype of rectangular chart, it even shows all 100% values
graphically too -with identical length too! But since this was after opening the
file (before taking snap 6), it's still with mixed colours! (pic 7)

First item (same color/different color) is definitely not a bug. Those columns
or bar charts use different colours to distinguish different Values for the same
"item". In this case if you had more than one value for "one", "two" and
"three", these would be distinguished. 
If you want to distinguish the rows, you have to toggle the "( ) data in columns
(o) data in rows".

The second problem (100%) is intentional as well. This is not the percentage of
the individual value, but of the data set. It shows 100% because you only have
one value per item, so this is always 100%.

I'm marking this as a duplicate.

Please file seperate issues for any remaining problems. But please remember to
only file *one single problem per issue*. If issues are related you can refer to
them (see issue #) but please focus on one problem. Otherwise it has to be closed.
