| <h1>Developer notes for new chart2:</h1> |
| <br> |
| If you would like to test the new chart, you will need to use the calc, enter |
| some values there and insert a chart as usual - via menu or toolbox. The selected data is currently |
| always interpreted as follows: The first row is used for labels, the first |
| column is used as categories (for the x-axis) and the series take their data |
| from columns.<br> |
| <br> |
| The new chart will not open at the usual position on the calc page, but in an |
| own fullscreen window for the moment. |
| <br> |
| In front of the window you will see the new chart wizard. |
| It is not finished yet, but can give you a first impression. |
| On the first page you are able to select some of the offered charttypes. |
| On the second page you are able to enter titles and check visibility of legend and grids. |
| The second page is considered to work completly. |
| A page to change the data range is still missing. |
| <br> |
| Pay attention that loading or saving will not work at all, so you can use the |
| new chart only for temporary experiments at the moment.<br> |
| <br> |
| In the following there are list of what you can try to do, what is not |
| implemented at all and what can be used but will be reworked again anyway.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h2>1. Largely finished / have a look if you like</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Diagram: change object properties for wall, floor and page per dialog; manual |

| (see Issue 26905)<br> |

| cells)<br> |

| <li> |
| stock charts only work if they have sufficient data, otherwise you only get |
| lines (which is the chart-type for additionaldata that is not used by the |
| candlesticks). This means also that the Chart Type dialog displays a simple |
| Line Chart as current type.<br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| <br> |
| <h2>Not implemented yet / please do not test this</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| no load and save* no old Chart API<br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| no toolbars</li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| no clipboard</li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| no keyboard access</li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| no undo/redo</li> |
| </ul> |

| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| no Transparency Gradients</li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| no updates of data changes in the spreadsheet. To get an update, you have to |
| call File/Save (which is the current hack for rebuilding the view).<br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <br> |
| <h2>3. You will be able to access and use this somehow, but the area is targeted |
| for rework already, so please don't write bugs for this<br> |
| </h2> |
| <br> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| New creation wizard - how do you like this? (first page partly finished, second page finished, range chooser missing)<br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| New range chooser dialog - how do you like this? |
| <br> |
| (opens with MainMenu-Format-SourceData; try with stock chart to get a good impression; calc range selection buttons are not working in most cases) |
| <br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Charttype dialog (You can use this dialog to change the type, but the dialog |
| itself will probably be changed to be the same as the first wizard page )<br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Chart is positioned in an own fullscreen window at the moment, but this will |
| change back to an embedded object<br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| mouse click selection / selection handles / dragging</li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| sizing and resizing of fonts in general is broken at the moment</li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| a context menu is available and most entries are working, but the offered |
| entries need to be adjusted to the context still<br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <br> |
| <h2>4. Some development hacks</h2> |
| <br> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| "File/Save All" is currently bound to reset the chart data to the default data, |
| which will most probably break things when you created the chart from a |
| spreadsheet. So don't call it.<br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| When calling "File/Save" you get an update of data in the spreadsheet.</li> |
| </ul> |
