[upstream] Changing border colours of chart symbols

[Mark Pokorny]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-calc

Would it be possible to add a feature allowing the user to change the border colours of chart symbols independently of line colours and fill colours? This can be very useful, and was present in OpenOffice 2.2.0-1ubuntu5, the default installation on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty).

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean, can you describe in more detail what you are talking about?

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

Hi Chris,

I'll do my best!

In the uploaded screen-shot 'OpenOffice.org2.4.png', you can see the 'Data Series' window that appears when editing how a particular data series is displayed in the graph as seen in openoffice.org-calc 2.4 (the default version on Hardy Heron). Changing any of the items on the left-hand side of this window will affect the line connecting up the data points. The 'color' [sic] option, when changed, will affect both the colour of the line AND the fill colour of the data points (in this case: blue). The colour of the border around the data point (in this case: black) cannot be changed at all.

In the screen-shot 'OpenOffice.org2.2(Borders).png', the same window and tab can be seen, this time from openoffice.org-calc version 2.2 (the default version on Feisty Fawn). The layout here is identical to that of the 2.4 version, except for one thing: the 'color' [sic] option affects the BORDER of the data points, not the fill colour. The fill colour can be changed by using the 'Area' tab (see the screen-shot 'OpenOffice.org2.2(Area).png').

The arrangement in version 2.4 seems to be a step back from that in 2.2, and was wondering if it was possible to have the old 2.2 arrangement re-instated.

Regards,

Mark Pokorny.
