Subject: libreoffice-calc: 3D elliptical diagram are NOT a correct way to
represent data
Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2016 20:31:18 +0100

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.
