Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13652
Legend in piecharts
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:20:26 UTC
Apparently there is no way to assign the row content as a name to the coresponding section of a piechart; i.e. I don't want a separate legend but a means to assign the individual row contents to the piechart sections (the way MS Excel handles this)
wrong component, I've changed it. Frank
Set to new. Hi Bettina, one for you.
Summary: There is no way to get row content as a name to the corresponding section of a piechart (like competition).
->marcstuessel: Can you be more specific? If you want to have the category labels (which are usually in the legend) near the pie segments, then try "Insert/Data Labels" and select "Data Label text".
christ, attaching a document is hard work. why is PDF not in thelist? why am I supposed to enter a mime type and why is "PDF" not sufficient?
Yes, your suggestion comes close, however, what I want is to move the label into the corresponding chart area, colour the text so as to improve legibility, and if need be, rotate the label. Also, regardless of how the labels are put next to or into their correspinding segments, the legend should be suppressed automatically. I appreciate that it is actually possible to place lables next to a graph, but why is this option not part of the Chart wizard? I tried to create a pie-chart with lots of segments - putting the text labels close to the chart-segmetns looks pretty awful. The layouter does not deal with this - IMHO the labels should have a minimum spacing betweem them and use a line to connect themselves to their corresponding chart segment
Hello Ingrid, please give approval for this evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged issue. If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your owner (or the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation. In case you want this issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the target milestone. If you decline the issue finally, please set the resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In case of 'OOo Later' or 'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you.
Sorry, took wrong reassign address, this time iha.
set target to OOo Later
Reassigned to Ingrid.
-Better automatic positions for lables on pie segments are already targeted within Issue 4039. -Rotation of data labels is already targeted within Issue 24203. -Applying different Font Effects to the data labels is already possible. Select the pie segment and choose 'Object Properties...' in the context menu. In the upcoming dialog select the tabpage 'Font Effects'. As this issue does contain a lot of different requests and is therefor complicated to read and to handle I created a new Issue 48170 that contains the request for free positioning of data labels only. For the same reason I close this Issue as duplicate. If you have additional ideas or problems please do submit a separat Issue for each single idea. That helps a lot when working on them. Thank you for your input. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 4039 ***
