Description Christian Göbel 2008-12-09 14:09:01 UTC
When working with the xy-chart in Gnumeric I found myself several times willing to have an uneven starting number on the X-axis combined with major ticks that are set to the value "2". 
Obviously this could be handy for the Y-axis, too.  

Description:
Imagine you want to visualise XY-values:
x    y
1995 1
1996 2
1997 3
...

Currently there there is no way to specify that the numbers of the x-axis start with the value 1995 - when major ticks are set to 2. 
From the UI-perspective the requested option should only appear when major ticks have values bigger than one. A toggle starting value button would be a handy solution.

To illustrate the "problem" I will attach a small example-file. (Maybe it is just me but I would think that 2005 would be a natural starting point in this case).
Right now it seems that when major ticks are set to 2 then only even numbered values are shown. 

Anyway, thanks a lot for providing Gnumeric!! I love the fact that all the properties can be manipulated at a single place.

It can be done if you use dates for the X-axis.
Sample attached.

The example probably requires 1.10.x in order to produce a good result.

I am keeping this bug report open because I cannot convince myself that
this problem only occurs for dates.

Note, that it is possible to set minor ticks for months.  A step-size
of 30 will do that even though months have different lengths.
