Description olivir 2010-09-14 12:00:02 UTC
I have a lot of sheets where I have copied/pasted a graph and then changed datas to have the same graph to represent different dats.

But when I want to change something in the style of a chart, I must change it x times in the other x charts.

So my wish would be to be able to define a graph as a model for some others graphs so if I change something (excepted datas) in this one, the style (axes, background, scales, etc.) would be copied for the x others.

I'd say that for now, you can develop your own theme. Modifying the theme will change all graphs based on it, but only the next time you start gnumeric.

Comment 3 olivir 2010-09-18 16:59:43 UTC
Well I am going to explain more with a real example.

I work on some graphs for 20 cities.

I made one first graph than I copy it to make the 19 others. That's ok.

But my client say : I would prefer this or that on my graph...

So I have to modify, one by one, my 20 graphs.

If the 19 copies were "linked" to the first, i would just have to modify the mother one and the 19 children would copy without my intervention.

Just changing a color might be done with themes. But this will not be propagated to the charts until next gnumeric session.
