Thanks for the tips on this and really saved my skin, i was trying to do this all day, i must have rearranged my graph 100 times. All i wanted to do was plot a normal xy graph and the points on it were male or female, i then wanted to add a line to show any correlation. Really easy stuff but very hard to achieve. Thanks to you tho, its done but still very scruffy and not very readable . . but at least the info is there

The major problem in OO that was not resolved in version 2.0 is unarguably the charts functionality. Some people were hoping the new features would be included in the 2.0 release, but the organizers decided it would take too long. I believe that is the main drawback with OO; charts are a pain in the rear. They are unintuitive, hard to use, hard to display what you want… just butt-ugly. I’m not complaining though, just noting a fact. Fortunately, I rarely use charts anymore since I’m not taking any lab classes in school.
