Printing charts on greyscale printers or publishing charts for greyscale journals/media is a common use case for charts in documents or spreadsheets. Currently, LibreOffice does not support greyscale-charts out of the box. It is always necessary to manually convert every colour in the chart to a distinguishable (!) grey level for printing it out. Hence, it would be great, if: a) Chart would offer a greyscale colour palette b) Chart would get the ability to choose a greyscale mode when creating a new chart. c) Chart would get the ability to convert existing charts with one click to a greyscale-palette.
