There is a critical missing type of chart in LibreOffice: pie of pie and related to it bar of a pie. This type of charts is presented in MS Office and is often necessary to show specific statistics. Example of such chart in MS Office 2003 (is also present in newer versions): http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/creating-pie-of-pie-and-bar-of-pie-charts-HA001117937.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA001034607 I am using Libre Office on Kubuntu and do not know, if this type of chart is presented in other versions of Libreoffice or in Openoffice. I am writing my thesis and this type of chart is necessary for me, so I had to ask my friend to do it for me in MS Office. Such major functions are big barriers to use Libreoffice and Linux in general. Thank you in advance!
reproducible with LO 3.6.4.3. (Win7 Home, 64bit) This chart type is missing and I also need this chart type quite often. Of course, this is no real bug, but it would really be good to add this to LO, because this minimizes the applications of LO.
Clarified summary so that all enhancement requests relating to chart types are readily findable.

I've submitted a partial fix for this bug here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/160742 This patch set implements basic pie-of-pie and bar-of-pie capabilities, including OOXML import/export and basic rendering. It's awaiting review. Here are some areas that I believe still need work: 1. ODF import/export. It appears to me that this would require changing the ODF spec, and I don't know the process for this. 2. Review of my UI choices. For instance, I added pie-of-pie and bar-of-pie as subtypes of pie in the chart selection matrix (widening it to 6 columns). It might be preferable to keep of-pie as a different chart type (adding a row instead of two columns). I also made arbitrary decisions about sizes and separation of the two chart parts in the rendering. 3. In the selection matrix above I added placeholder graphics, but graphics that look like the others will be needed. I don't know how to produce those. 4. Lots more unit tests. I held off on those pending any input on (2) above, which could affect many parameters in the tests. 5. There are many options in OOXML/MS Office that could be supported. 6. I have a minor geometric error with the connector lines in some cases that I need to fix.

Regina and Heiko, wondering if you'd like to review Kurt's work here?
The patch mentioned in comment#7 has a merge conflict, so I cannot test it. From what I read it seems, that the idea is, to implement it as different views of a pie chart. That would be not possible with ODF. The specification describes how the predefined chart types have to look. But ODF allows to define own chart types. So my take is, that such a kind of chart should be implemented as new chart type and written to ODF with a non-ODF name space, e.g as chart:class="loext:circleAndSubtype" or chart:class="chartooo:cirlePlus" instead of chart:class="chart:circle" of the predefined type. Still the class for a new type can be derived from the class:PieChart internally. Any solution needs to extend the API with a new service, so that the chart can be generated by macros. That is missing in the proposal.
Thanks for the input. I've rebased my code and fixed a compile error so I think it should be able to be tested now. My planned next step is to implement ODF input/output using an extension namespace, as you say. Can you point me towards where to look at the API?

Can we get a screenshot of this rendered in Excel please?
I would say that bar + pie is a different type than pie-with-remainder-as-another-pie.

Note in the screenshots that my code allots the last three values to the right (sub-) chart, whereas Excel by default allots the last two. I just thought three looked better but it's easy to change. In the long term this should be a selectable parameter.
I rebased my code and there's a new patchset available, but it appears to me that gerrit considers there still to be a merge conflict because it's only applying the last patchset. However, this seems to work to see the full set of code: git fetch https://git.libreoffice.org/core refs/changes/42/160742/6 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
