Description discoleo 2007-03-25 17:51:53 UTC 
OOo lacks currently the ability to draw *Dot Plots*, which makes professionally
looking graphs more difficult to create.

A *Dot Plot* is a superior alternative to the *Bar Plot*. For an extended
discussion see http://www.b-eye-network.com/newsletters/ben/2468.

ADVANTAGES:
 - less cluttered
 - better view of the data
 - great advantages when depicting *multiple groups of data*
 - better view for *Non-zero baseline*
 - *labeling* advantage when compared to the classic vertical bars of bar-charts

See the pictures on the site and judge yourself (especially figures 4, and 5 and
6 are interesting).

@IHA: pls "judge Yourself"
Comment 2 IngridvdM 2007-03-26 17:05:35 UTC 
OOo does offer *Dot Plots* in general.
Use the sub type "Points Only" for Line or Scatter charts.
What is missing is the ability to have a vertical category axis and a horizontal
value axis for line and scatter charts.
I changed the summary to reflect this.

This feature was requested already with an older issue 4770. So I set this to
duplicate.
