Description Nicolas Brisset 2006-06-20 15:11:24 UTC 
Version:           1.3.0_devel (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3
OS:                SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

I think I had requested this quite a while ago, but some foundation work was lacking at that time and it was postponed to later. I believe everything that is needed is in place now, but I don't actually think I went as far as making a bugzilla entry (at least I can't find it any longer), so here it is...

A very professional touch to kst would be to allow auto-updating of axis names based on plot contents. My proposal would be to replace the "Auto label" button in the plot dialog->Appearance tab with a checkbox. If the user makes a manual entry in one of the X or Y label lineedits, the checkbox would be unchecked. When checked, any change in contents or curve definition (e.g. X vector used) would trigger an axis label update.
Comment 1 George Staikos 2006-06-20 21:02:21 UTC 
  This requires some thinking (ie: a plan) about the performance impact along 
with an implementation similar to what is in KstViewLabel.
Comment 2 Andrew Walker 2007-12-14 22:05:34 UTC 
The current behaviour is that if a new curve is added to a plot the axes labels are automatically updated - overriding any user-defined axis label. This is clearly not desirable.
