ODS i/o trashes single-point graphical series
Last modified: 2015-01-28 17:56:28 UTC
Recipe: Starting with the attached file: Open it with gnumeric. Observe two plots. -- One has truly a single point. -- The other has a range that could cover two points, although the second point is has non-numerical data so it doesn't get plotted. $x/ssconvert singleton.gnumeric singleton.ods -- No errors or warnings. Open the .ods file. Observe pop-up warning: "Not enough data in the supplied range ((null)) for all the requests" Dismiss the popup. Observe that the singleton point has vanished. The range-based point remains fine. Recreate the lost point. It "looks" fine on the screen, so the obvious first guess is that the problem is in the i/o section, not the basic charting section. Save, exit, reopen the file. Same warning, same point lost again. Re-create the point again. Save As "foo.gnumeric". Quit. Open foo.gnumeric. Observe everything is OK. Related: $x/ssconvert singleton.ods bar.gnumeric does *not* produce a popup or any other error message, but still the singleton point gets trashed. This is not urgent for me, because there is a workaround, but it sure did cause people to waste a bunch of time. $x/ssconvert --version ssconvert version '1.12.20' datadir := '/usr/src/gnumeric/gitball/gnumeric/1.12.20' libdir := '/usr/src/gnumeric/gitball/' uname -a Linux asclepias 3.18.0+ #2 SMP Sun Dec 21 18:25:03 MST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
There is no file attached....
