Description django 2002-08-12 18:43:01 UTC 
Here is a two level list of enhancements to common X-Y charts which I find very
useful in my day to day practice (but which are a p.i.d.a to produce). The
important trick will be to realize them without creating intermediate data
ranges or sheets and to keep the link with the source data alive. 

First level (to allow displaying 5 variables: x and y plus three illustrators)
Allow
1. Getting (text) labels for the points from a first range range (including text
formats)
2. Getting colors for the points from a second range.
3. Getting point symbol types from a third range.

Second level (automatic series splitting) to add information about (up to two)
more variables
1. Split a data range automatically into series according to up to two
categorical variables (ranges) with n and m levels respectively. Create either:
 a) a panel of n X-Y graphs (if there is only one categorizing variable)
 b) a panel of nxm X-Y graphs if there are two.
Instead of panels permit also overlays.

Hm, this issue does consist of several different feature request. Maybe someone
could be so kind and split it up.
- datapoint labels from cell range
- datapoint color from cell range
- datapoint symbols types from cell range

Not sure what is the second level request about?
