Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 97738
date labels not displayed in diagrams X-axes
Last modified: 2009-01-05 12:51:38 UTC
I found a bug in OpenOffice 3.0.0 (provided by Novell) running on Linux (OpenSuSE 11.1). On Windows other users reported that this problem does *not* exist there. The problem is labeling the X axes in a simple diagram for a table with date columns like this: 01.01.09 10 02.01.09 20 03.01.09 30 When the date column should be printed on the X axes and the numbers 10,20,30 should printed on the Y axes in a simple bar diagram and printing labels for both axes is activated in the diagram, then there are no date labels (like 01.01.09) printed on the X-axes. However by simply replacing date values in the table (eg replace "02.01.09" by a text string say "b") the corresponding label below the X axes (here: "b") suddenly appears without changing any diagram setting. Ill try to add a demo document to this bug report that shows this strange behaviour. If I save this spreadsheet to a file and then open it with Staroffice 8, then select the diagram and next open the context menu by klicking the right mouse button and select "edit" in this menu then the date labels appear, without any further action. Creating a diagram like depicted above in staroffice 8 right from the start everything is ok. The three date labels appear below the X axes right below the three bars for the corresponding Y value. Thanks Rainer
