GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 122546
graph labels
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Here is a bug in Gnumeric 1.20 (pacakges from www.gnome.org/~jody): 1. Select a range of vlaues in table; click "graph" button, select "column" type (probably the same with other graph types - didn't check) 2. In step 2 (Customize chart), select Series 1->Data and enter some labels (by selecting another range of cells in the same table). The preview shows selected lables as expected 3. Click OK and place the graph in the workbook. BUG: instead of selected labels you see labels 1,2,... However, right-click on the graph->properties and click OK wihtout making any changes. Now the graph changes: it uses the selected labels.
I confirm this problem is also in Gnumeric 1.2.0. Instead labels taken from cells it shows 1, 2, 3...
This bug was previously submited as number 70717
I do not think this is the same as bug 70717: there problem was whether data should be shown in date format or raw; here the data is not used at all. (Not to mention that in 1.2.0 the graphing engine has been rewritten from scratch...)
Damn, I forgot about this report. This still seems to happen in 1.2.1 I'll add it to the release critical list and see what's going on before 1.2.2
We were only triggering an update when the number of points changed, not when the labels changed. So the axis was not notified of the new labels.
