Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-3371) chart:surface



    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3371?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=22517#action_22517 ] 

Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-3371:
-----------------------------------------

Andreas,

Is there an approach that would enable interpretation by Excel as well as Gnumeric? That is they can both read the data with the correct semantics? (How they process the data having read it, so long as they adhere to the defined semantics being none of our concern.)

> In ODF 1.1 the desciption of chart class chart:surface is "the data points are interpreted as tabular data, where each value defines a 'height' at a specific grid location." 10.9 furtehr states that the "<chart:series> element represents a data series in a chart. If the chart requires more input data like scatter and bubble charts, <chart:domain> sub-elements must be defined that mainly contain the cell-range-address of the corresponding data."
> This would allow several surfaces to be shown in the same plot.
> In ODF1.2CD5 the description of chart:surface was changed in an incompatible way to read in 19.15.1:  The values given by a chart:values-cell-range-address attribute on multiple <chart:series> elements (marked as being of type chart:surface) are interpreted as altitudes at specific grid locations.
> Since an undefined number of series are used for a single surface it becomes impossible to have more than one surface in a chart.
> So in ODF 1.2 we require:
> <chart:series chart:values-cell-range-address="Sheet1.$B$3:.$B$8" />
> <chart:series chart:values-cell-range-address="Sheet1.$C$3:.$C$8" />
> <chart:series chart:values-cell-range-address="Sheet1.$D$3:.$D$8" />
> <chart:series chart:values-cell-range-address="Sheet1.$E$3:.$E$8" />
> while in ODF 1.1 it would have sufficed to specify:
> <chart:series chart:values-cell-range-address="Sheet1.$B$3:.$E$8" />
> which would allow additional surfaces defined by further series.
> Note that currently Gnumeric uses the second approach (extending it with two chart:domain sub elements if the x, and y values are not the default 1,2,..,5) while Excel uses the first approach.
