Description bm1607 2007-10-30 12:52:03 UTC 
When preparing a standard deviation it should be possible to tell the program to show the 
formula of the standard deviation in the diagram. This feature is standard in the Microsoft 
product, and missed since years in OO. 

Thank you for listening, and please keep up the good work, you have done this far.

wrong component, changed to Chart and re-assigned. Possibly a double.
Comment 2 bjoern.milcke 2007-10-30 14:29:59 UTC 
What do you mean by "the formula of the standard deviation"? Error bars? Please
clarify.
Comment 3 bm1607 2007-10-30 20:39:11 UTC 
Sorry, i should try to be more precisely: The grade, wich is drawn by the standard deviation 
has a certain slope and meets the y-Axis in a certain point. It is defined by its own funktion. For 
instance: y=2x+3. Having the formula it is possible to calculate other points on this grade, 
without the need for measurement, and is thus more precise.
Comment 4 bjoern.milcke 2007-10-30 23:32:37 UTC 
I am still not sure what you mean. The standard deviation usually is a number
that is calculated out of a set of values. Is it possible that you mean linear
regression curves? See Issue 7998 for this. It is just fixed in a local
workspace (so not yet available in a product).

Yes, that was the thing i was looking for. Thank you for your good work. I've missed this 
feature a lot in the past years. I had always to switch to MS-Exel in order to get it done. But 
soon this will be necessary no more.

Sorry, that i made a duplicate of 7998, but my english is not that good.

By reviewing 7998 an idea came to me: The OO-developers could need some support by 
volunteers. Two dev's are certainly not enough for all the work. Microsoft employs hundreds of 
dev's to make it's products. Perhaps you should start a calling to gather a bigger team. I'm 
sure if GNU, Linux, OpenBSD finds capable coders, why shouldn't OO too? Take a look at the 
Debian-Projekt: A thousand people willing to spend their time for improvement, order in a 
hierarchy, well sorted into teams and subgroups. Perhaps you could also prepare such an 
infrastructure. I know that OO can be joined easily by volunteers. But seemingly not many 
would. So make sure more work on publicity is done. This would be the job for SUN - not for 
you two dev's.

Keep up your good work, and thank you.
