label points on an XY graph
Please add the ability to label points in an XY graph. This feature was
available in the very first release of Lotus 123 in used back in 1984. The add in "XY lChart abeler" works okay, but is very slow with large data sets and does not work well when the data is modified (e.g. it does not adjust when a row is deleted). ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

label points on an XY graph
HI Eric,
As I remember, when Lotus 123 was released in 1984, it had no charting capability at all. We used an external program to build charts (Harvard Graphics?). Lotus did not add charts until 1989 or 91. Excel had them in 1990 - can't remember if charts were available before then. Ed Ferrero http://www.edferrero.com Please add the ability to label points in an XY graph.

label points on an XY graph
Hi Eric,
Whoops, you are, of course, correct. I based my answer on my own recollections of using Lotus 1-2-3. Strangely, I do not recall making use of 1-2-3s graphics capabiliites, but do remember using Harvard Graphics extensively. Ed- I’m pretty sure that being able to graph within the main program was the main difference between Visicalc and Lotus 123. According to this history http://www.aresluna.org/attached/com...?printable=yes it was a feature of Lotus in 1983. This was a great boon to me, because I had spent a lot of time writing programs to extract data from Visicalc for plotting. |
