Hi all,

I have found out a lot of nice things about KChart today. The 
application is not that unusable, it's just that you need to know how 
to handle it. This means: improve usability and most likely add some 
more documentation in the handbook(s). Some example approach would be 
good, maybe just after "help:/kspread/insertdata.html". Examples, 
especially in this case, will help a good deal. Depending on time I 
can write one up. [today's time summary is not that bad, I had 
about... 2 hours I guess for KChart]

So far I have my first usability improvement patch almost ready. It 
provides a couple of tool tips and what's this help in the "Data 
Editor". Also I would like to change the following code:

// Set row labels to the row number, starting at 1.
    QString str;
    for (int i = 0;i < tableSize;i++) {
	str.sprintf("%d",i+1);
	importTextSide(i,0,str);
    }

inside kchart/sheet.cc (around line... 90), here are the rows 
initialized with 1, 2, 3, etc. I would suggest to initialize them 
with "data set 1", "data set 2", or sth. Or do you think that "Series 
1", "Series 2" is better? Is "data set" a correct term for such a row 
anyway? Just collecting some thoughts so things get cleaner 
implemented...

Thanks for your help,
Raphael
