WIth my Calligra hat on (personal opinion that is) I would suggest to not hurry to adapt to the new release simply cause there are lot of changes and they need proper testing against the Calligra use-cases (means the chartshape-plugin and ods-documents). While this days its much easier by just running cstester it would still be needed to test editing manually, etc. So, there is quit a bit of work before to do to be sure no regressions are introduced and if are they need to be addressed. >>> And who is the contact person at KDAB for the chart code? >> I'm not sure who is the product manager.

To my knowledge KDChart do not have icons for its chart-types. KDChart is a library and not an application with UI, themed icons, etc. It ships with lot of example applications but none of them is really in any way a "full featured standalone charting application" with icons and all that. > As mentioned in the text above, the icons talked about are these: > http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Icons/Shared_icons#Chart_Types I think its needed to do the same that was done with the other diagram-type icons used in the chartshape-plugin editing UI: Create them :) The alternate would be to look of there are public domain/... icons for various chart-types available somewhere but then they may not exactly look oxygen-like too... -- best regards Sebastian _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
