GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 359224
Interactive pie / bar chart and graphs in 2.x again
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:13:19 UTC
In GnuCash 1.8, the guppi graphs provided outstanding interactive features for pie and bar graphs. Example, double clicking on a pie wedge would draw a new pie graph zoomed in on the respective sub accounts; similar for bar graphs. Also one could click and bring up register windows for accounts directly from the graphs. These features are sorely missed in GnuCash 2.x :(
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 bug#343607 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.

confirming for svn
I opened bug 580545 against goffice, requesting slice-specific callbacks.
I don't understand the point to open a bug against goffice. Everything you need is actually already there, IMHO. Somebody just need to reimplement things in gnucash.
What is needed exactly in goffice to fix this one? It's still time to fix the goffice side of the things before 0.8 if I know what is needed. Otherwise it will have to wait until later (may be much later).
