In Calc, after insert a chart, this chart is anchored to page. I believe is better anchor to cell. Since persons believe is better the current mode. I suggest add this as an option (Tools|Options... -> LibreOffice|Calc|General -> Input settings): [ ] "Anchor chart to cell after insert".
Perhaps a better solution but more complex, since then would be three types of anchor: * Anchor to Page * Anchor to Cell (with Chart resize on change the later and contained columns or rows). * Anchor to Cell (WITHOUT Chart resize on change the later and contained columns or rows). [NEW OPTION!!] Anchor to Cell is important when a columns or rows before de current cell of a Chart are modified (added, deleted or resized). Same for Textbox....
Sounds as reasonable enhancement. There are similar requests for image, so I add that to See Also. There could be both solutions: - add option, as you suggested (Tools|Options... -> LibreOffice|Calc|General -> Input settings): [ ] "Anchor chart to cell after insert". - add step 5. in Chart Wizard: Chart Position with options "To page" and "To cell" (and maybe 3rd option).
Don't forget a visual indicator, usually an anchor. If the second 'To Cell' option becomes real we should talk about better wording.
First of all I will explain why the second proposal. I'm working with an spreadsheet with extensive pages and charts in different places. I create charts beside the corresponding table and give them the appropriate look and size. But if I change the width of a column that passes through "behind" of an anchored chart situated many rows below (and then at that time I do not see on the screen), then the chart size will be changed, which for me (and I suppose for other people) is undesirable and annoying. I recognize only one situation where the resizing of an object is useful. It is the case of an anchored arrow between two cells. But I never used it. Since making two anchor modes could be inconvenient, I make a NEW proposal (to replace my second one). Add within the Options: [ ] Do not modify the size of the anchored objects if it is not explicitly made. Alternatively, as a new button in the toolbar of the main window.
I would also like to reiterate the desirability to have an "Anchor to Cell" option for charts in Calc. I would further propose that "Anchor to Cell" be the default setting as this is the behavior in Excel and eases the transition of people adopting LO Calc.
