Description Adam Buchbinder 2006-06-01 15:59:03 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
In the previous release of gnucash (1.8), when viewing a piechart, one could double-click a slice of the chart and have a new view of it displayed, with the double-clicked account as the new root.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run a pie-chart report, such as "Expense Piechart".
2. Double-click on a slice of the pie representing an account that has subaccounts.


Actual results:
Nothing.

Expected results:
A new chart should be displayed, as described above.

Does this happen every time?
Yes; this is repeatable.

Other information:
This is a consequence of migrating to the new reporting engine. It is a regression with respect to gnucash 1.8.

This wasn't readily available in goffice graphing, at least with 0.0.4 or 0.1.0.  I wouldn't expect this to come back...

In other words: Yes, we know this is a regression with respect to gnucash-1.8.x. However, it was difficult enough to get a different (gnome2-enabled) charting engine integrated and running again (namely the goffice library). First of all, goffice would need to provide slice-specific callback functions, and (according to comment#1 ) this is not the case currently. So first someone needs to implement this in goffice. Then we might re-enable this again in gnucash. But for the time being this feature is simply not available in any gnome2-enable charting engine.

goffice does not need to provide callbacks. gnucash shoud provide the callback, evalutate to which element the event refers, and do what is needed with it. The find_element callback in gog-pie.c might be a good start.
