Hello, violin plot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_plot) are very useful to display some data. Could you add a support for this kind of chart? Thank you in advance PS: sorry if a bug report is already opened but I did not find it.
Thank you for your bug report.
Created attachment 202486 [details] Example of a violin chart Added an example from the Wikipedia page on Violin charts.
I want to challenge the marking of this bug as NEW. You see, a "violin chart" is actually a _compound_ chart. Each of the "violins" is itself a sort of an area chart (possibly with some smoothing), with a second, mirrored copy just below itself. And the complete chart is one violin for each category. I believe that, unless we support compound charts generally, it does not make much sense to support such compounding _only_ for violin charts.
I don't think we _need_ to add all kind of chart types. LibreOffice is not as replacement for proper statistical tools - you also don't expect Calc to do all kind of statistics, that eventually result in a plot. OTOH, if volunteers want to add this kind of plot I see no blocker. And if some work needs to be done beforehand, make this ticket depending on it.
