Subject: active legends for gnumeric

Hi,

I'm a user, not a hacker.

In March 99 I sent you an idea for "active legends": you
click-hold on one of the elements of the legend, and the
corresponding line or group of bars "goes live" - ie is
illuminated with a brighter color - while you click-hold.

So you see the epidemic of flu in your country, ignoring
the epidemic in other countries.

Things go back to normal when you stop click-holding.
This would work for gnumeric, presentation or even
webpages.

You talked about % of transparencies.

You said "well, check Guppi in about 6 months, and
if it still doesn't do this, hassle me again. :-)".

So I do. ;-)
