In bug 64884 I stated incorrectly that there wasn't any possibility of adding X grids to a chart, after exiting the Chart wizard. I also tried to add a "X" grid button into the chart toolbar. I couldn't find a button for that, not even inside "Customize toolbar" dialog. Steps: 1) create a chart 2) Try to add a "X" grid button with "Customize toolbar" option through right click Actual: 1) It is not possible to add such button. Expected: 1) The "X" grid button should be an available button in chart toolbar, as for "Y" grid Additional information: Also I tried to edit the file $HOME/.config/libreoffice/3/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules/schart/toolbar/toolbar.xml there's a line: <toolbar:toolbaritem xlink:href=".uno:ToggleGridHorizontal"/> Wich, clearly indicates the button for "Y" gridlines. I added the following line <toolbar:toolbaritem xlink:href=".uno:ToggleGridVertical"/> below the first one. After starting Calc and inserting a chart, the new button appear, and it even has an icon... but saddly, it is disabled and so it doesn't work --- User bfoman showed that it was possible to add "X" grids after exiting the chart wizard through "Insert->grids" in menubar. But since he couln't find a wat to add a "X" grid button, he suggested to create a new bug report.
Created attachment 81769 [details] screenshot of deactivated "X" grid button added through editing configuration file This is how the chart toolbar looks after editing the file $HOME/.config/libreoffice/3/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules/schart/toolbar/toolbar.xml and adding the line <toolbar:toolbaritem xlink:href=".uno:ToggleGridVertical"/> That button seems to have even an icon, but it doesn't work.
It should be fairly easy to add such a button. I am currently working around this code so I will take this bug.

The button now works in LibO Chart. The only thing I'm missing is how to add it the the chart toolbar through the Toolbar customization UI: I haven't been able to find it, but added editing file libreoffice/3/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules/schart/toolbar/toolbar.xml in my profile.

This toolbar button is now enabled and visible by default - previously the button was half done and could not work even if you forced it on the toolbar. Can you try it out with clean configuration folder - maybe your modification was the cause why it was not working for you. I tried it out on a daily build and both grid buttons appeared for me and worked.

What I couldn't do was add it in my libreofficedev profile (which was created by libo 4.1). I deleted that folder and the X grid button just appeared when I entered in the edit chart mode. I think the bug is solved. Should it be marked, or wait until libO 4.2? But there's still something else missing, that is, that I can't create a new custom toolbar (if I want, for any reason) with many buttons, including those buttons... or even any other char edit button. I haven't find the way. Any button for editing charts isn't reachable through customize toolbar UI. That was what I was referring when I said I didn't find the button.

No need to wait - I have set it to resolved/fixed. > But there's still something else missing, that is, that I can't create a new > custom toolbar (if I want, for any reason) with many buttons, including > those buttons... or even any other char edit button.

I understand now - this is indeed a problem. I think it is the best to make a new bug report about this. Regards, Tomaž

But I've been seeing around charts for a while, and it seems to be that they need a lot work. So, I've been trying to review all the things I think are missing or not working properly (like this bug). I mean, all bugs should be filled separately, but I think that many of them are linked, and if solved separately, it will be more difficult.
