Description Paul 2018-03-06 01:36:12 UTC
Currently, there is no way to annotate Charts in Calc.

For instance, I have a series of charts in a spreadsheet, and I want to be able to draw attention to significant points along the axis. I want to do this in Calc, because the analysis is ongoing. What would be involved is text boxes and arrows, and perhaps circular shapes, for instance.

I understand this might be doable in Impress, which is good, but I'm trying to get it in Calc, before it reaches Impress.

Does Insert > Text Box etc do the trick?
Comment 2 Paul 2018-03-06 02:09:32 UTC
Yes it does. Thank you. I missed that. Getting Callouts to work adequately is another matter, but I think I should close this request. Thanks much for your input!

(In reply to Paul from comment #2)
One down-side of this workaround is that, when you move the chart to another place, the text boxes etc are not move together.
Comment 4 Paul 2018-03-06 02:17:48 UTC
Yes, that's a problem. I'll leave it resolved, though, and let a higher-up decide if they want to keep the request alive. Thanks again!
