Comment 6 Adam Kovacs 2018-08-22 09:10:40 UTC
In the ODF standard there is a "chart:reverse-direction" attribute, which is missing from the OOXML standard. By default in LibreOffice it is set to false (there is no problem with this in the case of odt, ods,... files), but when you save the file to docx, xlsx,... and reopen/reload it, the chart will behave as if this attribute would have been set to true.

So chart:reverse-direction="true" behave the same way like the docx charts/diagrams, but the default value in LibreOffice is false.
Maybe I can suggest that the default value should be set to true in LibreOffice or the false value should behave like the true value now.

Search for: "20.44 chart:reverse-direction" in this file:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.pdf
And you can see there: "False is the default."

Comment 7 Aron Budea 2019-02-28 22:41:33 UTC
This isn't specific to DOCX and opening the result in MSO, the chart also shows mirrored when the saved file is reopened in LO.

Sample pie chart in ODS

Here's an ODS that behaves the same way.

One chart with chart:reverse-direction false, the other with true

http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#property-chart_reverse-direction

ODF 1.2 has the attribute chsrt:revers-direction, which can be used to carry the direction information, and LibreOffice renders it already correctly. Only that there is no UI for it.

Comment 11 Shinji Enoki 2022-01-04 12:40:33 UTC
It was not fixed in the following versions:

Version: 7.2.4.1 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 20(Build:1)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: ja-JP (ja_JP.UTF-8); UI: ja-JP
Debian package version: 1:7.2.4-3
Calc: threaded

Version: 7.1.8.1 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e1f30c802c3269a1d052614453f260e49458c82c
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3

Comment 12 Timur 2022-01-04 14:25:00 UTC
Change should be explained, where is that "compatibility key for pie chart orientation".
Comment 13 Shinji Enoki 2022-01-04 16:29:39 UTC
It  was also not fixed in the following daily build:

Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 9cc3672a4d7e9c9a647d388dba493bbb28d96da2
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: ja-JP (ja_JP.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

However, when saving to xlsx, I got the following warning message: It's the same with 7.2 / 7.1 as well as daily build.

'This document may contain formatting or content that cannot be saved in the currently selected file format "Word 2007-365".'
Comment 14 Luke 2022-01-04 18:10:50 UTC
I don't understand why this was closed as FIXED. After exporting, chart is still mirrored, when opened in both LO and MSO 2016. From the user perspective, the export is still broken.

Dear Gabor Kelemen (allotropia),

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
