            Bug ID: 131862
           Summary: ODF: Remove deprecated attribute
                    table:cell-range-address from element
                    <chart:plot-area>
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Chart
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

ODF 1.2 has deprecated the table:call-range-address as attribute of element
<chart:plot-area>. Instead the attribute chart:values-cell-range-address of
<chart:series> is used.
http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#attribute-table_cell-range-address_element-chart_plot-area

The use of this attribute with element <chart:plot-area> will be removed in ODF
1.4. Therefore it is time to change LibreOffice accordingly.


I have made some tests with charts in Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw. I have
generated a chart, then removed the attribute in file, and then reopened the
file. In all my tests, the chart was the same as created. So it should be no
problem to remove writing that attribute for ODF 1.4.

I could not test charts in reports (REPORTBUILDER) because of crashes. The
REPORTBUILDER seem to have severe problems with charts, see bug 117162, bug
117159, bug 87012 for example.

I have looked at Pivot-Charts too. They have principle ODF related errors in
cell addresses and need rework anyway, see bug 112785 and bug 112783.

Old OOo versions use this attribute to distinguish between the cases, that the
data source is the internal table of the chart, or the chart has an external
data source. I have seen comments on this. So it might be, that import/export
filter for these old versions still need to treat this attribute.
