GSoC'2023: Histogram (and other missing) Chart Type: LibreOffice

[Madhu patel]

Hi Tomaz,

I have built LibreOffice from the Source on my Linux machine. I have
documented the progress of easy Hacks and steps for building LibreOffice in
[1]
<https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7f02ky1hh284jqak9cayo/LibreOffice.paper?dl=0&rlkey=lmyaxg2cqf6ui90cn5ukuv2qk>
with attachments. I am not able to push the code on Gerrit because I don't
have access, hence I created a patch for "Use hypot function for
Pythagorean addition" [2]
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147906>. I used
"hypot" function in place of a ⊕ b = sqrt(a^2+b^2). As, For large values of
a or b, there is a possibility of overflow. Please review the patch, and
suggest some enhancements to it.

Also can you please suggest, some other tasks which I can work on
further? I have already prepared a timeline/planner, great if you could
have a look at it and suggest any enhancements.

Thanks.
Madhu
