Bug#849225: libreoffice-calc: 3D elliptical diagram are NOT a correct way to represent data
Package: libreoffice-calc
Version: 1:5.2.4~rc1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
LibreOffice has the ability to create 3D circular diagrams, ie elliptical diagram.
In fact, this way to draw a diagram is false mathematically. The area of a sector in the front is bigger than the area of another sector of the same importance if it is placed right or left or in the back.
I know that some users might reclaim this feature but it’s a classical error in presenting data.
As far as LibreOffice is a quality office suite, it should not let its users create garbage graphics.
Just keep a line in the creation window that tells that this feature is in fact a bad idea.
