Bugs and wanted features in Gnumeric

["Vladimir Chukharev" <chu kemia me tut fi>]

Hi,

I just want to give some feed back, hoping it can help developers a bit.

I tried to use Gnumeric to prepare figures for a scientific article.
Since version 1.4.0 which I tried last time, the version 1.4.3 changed
to almost usable. Export as SVG, edit the graph couple minutes
in inkscape, save it as EPS, and you have quite a good picture.
Great progress!

With the missing features implemented (and bug 1 fixed) Gnumeric will
become my main graphing tool.

Missing features (more urgent first)
1. Label cannot be oriented vertically (along Y axis).
2. Impossible to write text in arbitrary places (e.g to mark a line).
3. Text should be able to contain sub- and superscripts. Best if it
would be capable for math equations.
4. Cannot save a graph as EPS, though SVG format is easily transformed
to EPS externally.

Bugs I have noticed.
1. Font size is settable but not applied in legend.
2. It dies on attempt to delete just added second plot in a chart.
3. 'Paste Special' with Transpose checked does not adjust formulas in
the cells.
4. When a sheet is duplicated, the references in a graph on the new
sheet are to the old sheet.
5. References to data are always absolute in graph, which only take
space and has no meaning for user IMHO.

Best regards,
