grids display in 3D graphs cause misunderstandings
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:21:43 UTC
In 3D graphs the grid displayed in the background causes misunderstandings on correct values of bars: for example a bar with a value of 2.000 seems to be 1.900 in the graph, because the background is far away than the bar.
Created attachment 59291 [details] 3D bars are displayed different modifying the graph width
I checked with "Ooo 3.0.0 (DE) Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [OOO300m9 (Build9358)]" and can confirm the reported effect; that is the reason of a realistic 3D view and can not be fixed. You can avoid that effect by using 2D, or setting X-Rotation to "0". Pls feel free to open a new enhancement request if you find a practicable way how to make the grid more intuitive (may be show of "flight levels" or similar).
closing as this cannot be fixed
