“Filled Net Chart
Another new chart type in OpenOffice.org 3.2 is the Filled Net
Chart. The Filled Net Chart is similar to the regular Net Chart
with lines, but the area between the lines and the origin is filled
in addition.

“Chart Context Menu
The context menu within charts and parts of the menu have been
reworked to address some usability issues. For example the common
entry “Object Properties” has been replaced by something more
descriptive. The offered command in the context menu now shows the
name of the selected object. So it says for example ‘Format
Legend…’, ‘Format Title…’ instead of only ‘Object
Properties…’. The commands ‘Insert Titles…’, ‘Insert Legend’
and ‘Insert/Delete Axes…’ have been added to the context menu in
case the chart area, the chart wall /floor or nothing is
selected.

“Access to the data series properties is now also offered in the
context menu of a single data point. So you are not lost anymore if
you have clicked a second time on the same series.”
