Don't miss the gnumeric manual, there's a lot of useful informations in it... > For example I am in the need to replicate this chart: > http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=84300&action=view > and Emmanuel Pacaud replied that I could do this: > http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=84302&action=view > What would be enough since I am going to edit the chart anyay in inkscape. One of the main usability issue with the chart guru is the "Add" menu is populated only with list of objects that can be added to the selected item. For example, if you want to add horizontal grid lines, you need to select the y axis, then click on the "Add" menu and select "Major grid lines". The situation could be improved by populating the "Add" menu with all objects that can be added to the graph (or may be a selection of the most used objects + the list of possible selected object childs), and popup a selection dialog if there's more than one possible parent. We could also add a palette of the most used objects (Title, Axis, Legend...). > But how do I replicate the chart? It's a "line" chart, without what's called Grid object (and is in fact chart backplane, we should rename this one), and with grid lines which are childs of x and y axes.
