Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61024
Need x error bars as well as y error bars
Last modified: 2011-05-18 15:16:01 UTC
Along with variable error bars, for Calc to produce meaningful graphs that students can use in actual physics (or somesuch) experiments x error bars are also needed. This is a defect that needs to be addressed ASAP as it prevents adoption of OO in academic institutions. If the Chart functionality can be improved it would go a long way to seeing OO being taken more seriously. As it is I cannot use it to plot my data as I need both x and y error bars. Dave
Confirmed with OOo 2.0.1, using PC with XP SP2. Was rather surprised that I could confirm this issue! As a scientific User, I would say this was an essential enhancement. However, this is a duplicate of Issue 42946. It may interest 'Dave' to also look at Issue 366. Closing duplicate. Please remember to move your votes and comment if you wish on Issue 42946. Regards, Andrew *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 42946 ***
Closing.
As a science student I can't live whithout X error bars.
