Re: feature question

Hi Jean,

Yes, that would be exactly what I imagine. I know this feature from some 
other spreadsheet applications, e.g. Origin, and found it very useful. 
That way, you have a direct link between the axis and the corresponding 
line, which facilitates the interpretation of complex graphs. However, I 
of course understand the problem you are facing.
I've filed a feature request according to your description.

Thanks for your reply,
Jakob
