LO Calc 3.6b2 shows multiple 3d bars instead of surface on the chart.

How it should look like.

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice  3.5.5.2.  German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 24b32b4-b87ec2e-85c8e98-87a4e20-9a1b8c1] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit), same with LibO 3.3.3 and OOo 3.1.1, so inherited from OOo.

Looks more or less ok with Gnumeric, fine with MS EXCEL Viewer. 

Another problem with a document created with SoftMaker software (?)

I doubt that many users are affected, so not MAB

See :
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=29012
(no solution is given there)
In order to address such chart types, we need a 3 surface renderer (I mean, something like z=F(x,y)).
One could (internally) delegate the plot to gnuplot.
Comment 4 Robert Cabane 2012-11-24 22:15:52 UTC 
I'm using LO 3.6.2 under Linux, same effect as noted by the reporter.

I am changing this to an enhancement request - we just don't have this particular type of charting ability, adding it is an additional feature and therefore an enhancement
Comment 7 Gerry 2014-05-20 09:40:27 UTC 
There is a basic workaround available for surface charts:

Of course, it is not a replacement for real Surface charts, but it might be sufficient for a few use cases.
Comment 8 Owen Genat (retired) 2014-08-29 02:05:36 UTC 
"Type" added to summary so that all enhancement requests relating to chart types are readily findable.
Comment 9 Joachim Otahal 2018-02-11 19:50:52 UTC 
LO 6.0, and still no surface plot/chart.
