Version: 1.2.0_devel (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.3 OS: SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8 I recently saw a *very nice* feature in another plotting app: when you click the topmost Y axis label, it becomes editable and allows you to enter the new Ymax value. The same applies to Xmin, Xmax and Ymin labels and this is really cool. This means a one click + value input, I don't think it can get much shorter :-) I have no idea how difficult this would be to implement, but if not for 1.2.0 then hopefully for a next version. Note that these labels (min and max for both axis) are emphasized by being drawn a bit bigger than intermediate values, which actually looks good. I don't know whether that's really desirable in all cases, though. I someone thinks it really is, a separate report would be appropriate.
The proposed fix is mainly cute, without actually doing much for usability. Currently, range is set in the plot dialog, or with the mouse, or with the keyboard, and clicking on the axis calls up the axis properties tab in the plot dialog.
Would it be complicated to implement ? Sure, it is only cute, but for such an often-used setting, avoiding the hassle of bringing up a dialog (probably covering the plot for which you cant to change settings, making it difficult to read the right values to type in) each time is really appealing. As I said, I've actually seen that elsewhere and it feels very good. [Just pleading in case there's a chance to save at least that one :-)]
