I want a couple of "more scientific" things in my Keynote presentations. I think I've searched well enough within Keynote, and that these things are impossible. However, maybe there are other applications/plugins that will work with Keynote? Like MathType (scientific formulas) for Pages.

Anyway, this is what I want:

1) Arrows in my charts. Thank god it's possible to view the elements on click, but I want my the arrows to grow with me. Explanatory sketch:
17nk


2) Functions in my charts. If I want a simple function like e^x or ax+b, I have to manually fill in every point. I simply want to fill in "y=3x+5, x=[0...20] with steps x=1" (for example).

3) It would be nice if the sets in the legend will correspond with the appearance with the set of the chart. In other words: if my red line is drawn on the chart, and the blue one not yet, I want the legend to display only the red line, and only when the blue line kicks in I want the legend to add the blue one too.

By the way, that "Magic Move" doesn't work perfectly. Especially if I use the action "Move" prior to the transition, it doesn't work at all. Oh, and I wish there was a function "automatically transition to next slide after last build/action".

I know, maybe I'm asking to much, but I can't imagine that I'm the only one who want a little bit more tweaking. I'm not sure PowerPoint can do this, but I really hate two switch, especially since I've done all these time-consuming and beautiful transitions that certainly won't work in PowerPoint.

Thanks for the help in advance!
