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

Fri Mar 10 05:24:25 UTC 2023

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
