With the bar-of-pie and pie-of-pie chart types added for bug 50934 in LO 24.8, there are now 6 types of Pie charts. The Chart sidebar deck only accommodates 4 chart type previews, so either: - the new ones are not shown if the current type is one of the 4 original types - only the new ones are shown if the current types is one of the 2 new types Steps: 1. Open Calc 2. Expand Sidebar 3. Insert new chart 4. In Wizard, choose a pie chart type 5.

I'm thinking it might be better to separate the of-pie chart types into a separate category in the UI. That would bring us back to four columns in the chart type selector, which I think would resolve this bug. It also would allow for different options for of-pie charts, specifically number of entries to be included in the right sub-chart (bug 161090). Comments on this are welcome!

Let's see what UX/Design contributors think. Would be good to think ahead and consider where additional chart types might end up in the wizard and sidebar: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=159181&hide_resolved=1 (e.g. Histogram is currently being worked on, via GSoC: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/05/07/projects-selected-for-libreoffice-in-the-google-summer-of-code-2024/ > It also would > allow for different options for of-pie charts, specifically number of > entries to be included in the right sub-chart (bug 161090). Why not, given that this is a very important factor and the chart updates as soon as the type is selected.
