x-y plot different colours for each datapoint

[Ranek]

Hello

I have two probably simple questions.

1. I want to visually seperate my data points in a xy-plot. In default, each point has the same colour and belongs to the same legend. I have rather several point sets from different sources which shall be shown in the same plot.
2. Furthermore I would like to see the entire diagramm starting with (0,0) and not only the part with the data.

Thanks in advance

I want to visually seperate my data points in a xy-plot. In default, each point has the same colour and belongs to the same legend.

This is likely limited by bug tdf#72514. It seems that while data points in a single series should be able to be manually coloured the result is a change in colour in the corresponding legend item.

I have rather several point sets from different sources which shall be shown in the same plot.

It would be good if the question could be edited to clarify what is meant by this. Is the requirement to colour individual points within a series, or all points within a series? Please ignore my original comment beneath this quote. My thinking was erroneously related to the underlying ODF specification.

Sorry. I do not understand this.I nearly exclusively use x-y charts (diagrams) and mostly they contain more than one series (y1, y2, … e.g.) over one x- axis.
In addition: Via the ‘Format Data Series…’ dialogue we can turn off the line and thus “separate” the data points (same colour). Via the ‘Format Axis…’ dialogue we may turn off automatic settings and force (0,0) to be the origin of the diagram. What did I understand wrongly?.The “VaryColorsByPoint” might well be abandoned, IMO.

@Lupp, as discussed separately my thinking was in error. Thanks once again for bringing this to my attention. List of source code references to VaryColorsByPoint here. I’ve no idea as to the state of support of this property.
