Created attachment 63731 [details] file with a problem LO Calc 3.6b2 shows multiple 3d bars instead of surface on the chart.
Created attachment 63732 [details] Screenshot from XL2003 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 @Valek Filippov: Please contribute info concerning your OS! @Kohei, @Markus: Please set Status to ASSIGNED and add yourself to "Assigned To" if you accept this Bug
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.
I'm using LO 3.6.2 under Linux, same effect as noted by the reporter.
*** Bug 72045 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
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
There is a basic workaround available for surface charts: http://ask.libreoffice.org/upfiles/13974882302570861.ods Of course, it is not a replacement for real Surface charts, but it might be sufficient for a few use cases.
"Type" added to summary so that all enhancement requests relating to chart types are readily findable.
LO 6.0, and still no surface plot/chart.
