[Libreoffice-qa] Another suggestion for LibO developers

Kudos on the release of
version 4.2.0.4, which my Linux Mint PPA kindly installed on my main box
yesterday. My first impression is hugely positive....
Reading more or less contemporaneously a *Nature Methods* editorial
entitled
*Kick the Bar Chart Habit*
(
http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v11/n2/full/nmeth.2837.html?WT.ec_id=NMETH-201402),
I was struck by the following sentence : «This is often a box plot, but
software packages such as Excel do not provide this plotting option».
My question is - would it be difficult to provide such an option in Calc
? LibreOffice is often accused of simply attempting to catch up to MS
Office ; perhaps including a feature like the forenamed could help to
change minds and to put it on quite a few computers used in writing
scientific articles
?
...
(The editorial points to a web tool (
http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v11/n2/full/nmeth.2811.html?WT.ec_id=NMETH-201402)
for creating box plots, but I'm certain many users would love to have the
option to keep the machinery on their own computer....)
