Enhancement proposal for Waterfall chart. For #583
@scanny I've put together an analysis document for the waterfall chart, as you'd suggested for #583
I based this on the Bubble Chart proposal. This only covers the waterfall chart as an example, but this could be easily extended to cover:
- boxWhisker
- clusteredColumn
- paretoLine
- sunburst
- treemap
I'd be happy to support this in any way. Please let me know if you'd like any further analysis or exploration.
Thanks for the comments @scanny. The newer charts are steadily gaining traction, and I'd be happy to work on this. I'll spend the next few days comparing the new charts with the old and revert based on your comments.
@scanny -- I've added a few details, but I thought it might be best to share the full extract of a PPT with a bar chart and a waterfall TEMPORARILY so that you might get a sense of what's happening & is different between these charts.
I'll continue with the analysis, but just wanted to check with you if it's OK to commit a few selected XML files as part of the PR?
Hello,
I am very interested in having the new chart types in python-pptx, as I have created an entire module dedicated to automating our analytics and creating PowerPoint content. Did you ever progress this topic?
Do you think it would be possible to hack together a workaround by my manually creating the xml, and/or creating part of the chart with existing python-pptx methods and then changing the xml tags from c: to cx:? Sorry if this a dumb question - I'm really only a beginner with xmlchemy and have only used it for some simple cases like table borders.
Regards, Matthew
Hello, it looks like there's quite some interest from the community to have new chart types support. Any chance to merge this PR?
