Description Alessandro Garberi 2005-08-01 22:55:03 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:                Linux

If you open the "Plot Data" window and click "Plot" without changing anything, a lot of times the graph is not plotted (but not always).

Here are the instructions to reproduce the error and other related bugs.

1)
Open the "Plot Data" window.
Click "Plot": a graph is plotted -> OK
Close the dialog.
Click "Plot" (reopens the dialog): nothing is plotted! -> NOT OK
Repating this sequence it seems that randomly draws or not draws...

Note: when the graph is NOT drawn, if you change the graph type to something else (using the "Y-axis" combo) and click "Plot", then reset it to "Weight" (the default one) and click "Plot", then the graph is plotted.
This is not true if you change anything else (range or check boxes).

2)
When the graph is NOT drawn, if you change the range (eg.: from 20 to 100) the ticks on X-Axis is wrong and the ticks on the Y-Axis is not shown.
Note: you have to click "Plot" to see the changes.

3)
When the graph is NOT drawn, there are little blue points on the X-axis.
Note that they are 1 pixel wide (littler then the plot points used to draw the graph when it is correctly drawn).

Yes, this is not a bug, the dialog always opens the same, the last plot is not 
saved.

I am not sure what you mean here... The plot is only updated when you click on 
the "Plot"-button.

Again, the widget is only updated when you click on the "Plot"-Button. I am 
not sure if this can be considered as a bug...

In KDE 3.5 there are no such points. There has been quite some improvements to 
the plot-dialog in KDE 3.5. Unfurtunatelly, they cannot be backported to KDE 
3.4.x. Furthermore, it is not clear if there will be a KDE 3.4.3. 
There is a much improve standalone-release of Kalzium available on 
www.kde-apps.org, called "Kalzium Hydrogen". The next standalone-version will 
be online in about three weeks.

This is not what I mean.
I mean that clicking on "Plot" does not plot anything!!!

Again, this is not what I mean.
This was intended to help solve the bug: when the "Plot" button is not 
working (see above), changing the range and clicking "Plot", behaves 
incorrrectly.

I think that these blue points are related to the "lackness" of the plot 
points!

If you need more informations or if the bug is not clear, please ask me anything needed!

Sorry for my english, but it's not my native language :-)

I think that I have fixed all these items in SVN.

If not, then please reopen the bug.
