I've never seen ANY spread sheet which has graphing format I need.
Your comments on Improv don't surprise me.
I've given up on relying on those programs for graphs a long time ago.

What the developers can and should do is to provide hooks
to which 3-rd party develpers and users can attach
a custom plotting module.
Why nobody has such a thing?
