Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 30783
Allow direct labeling of Scatter Lines in plotting

Per Edward Tufte: Dont put in legends, permit direct labeling of the chart lines... I have a series of data, which I would like to label the line, however I can not figure out how to get text boxes in my chart, much less rotate them and position them properly to provide extra information. Excel charts have always screwed this up, and to your defense, you have mimiced the screw up perfectly; unfortunately, I want better. Labeling the actual lines as opposed to the legend makes it much easier for the viewer to look at the graph substance instead of the legends and technology artifacts... :-)
wrong component. I changed and re-assigned this Issue. Frank
Hi Bettina, one for you. tk
Reassigned to Ingrid.
Allowing to display the series name near the plotted line sounds like a goog idea. Where this new position excactly is and how this option should be offered to the user has still to be considered.
reset to new
