00:01 | Hello everyone.Welcome to this tutorial on Charts in GChemTable. |
00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn about, |
00:09 | * Elemental Charts and |
00:11 | * How to create Custom Charts |
00:15 | For this tutorial, I am using: |
00:18 | Ubuntu Linux OS version 12.04. |
00:21 | GChemPaint version 0.12.10 |
00:25 | GChemTable version 0.12.10 |
00:31 | To follow this tutorial you should be familiar with |
00:35 | * Periodic table of the elements and |
00:37 | * GChemPaint |
00:40 | For relevant tutorials on GChemPaint, please visit our website. |
00:44 | Let's open a new GChemTable window. |
00:49 | Click on Dash Home. |
00:51 | In the search bar that appears type “gchemtable”. |
00:55 | Click on Periodic table of the elements icon. |
01:00 | Click on View menu, select Elements Charts. |
01:05 | A submenu opens, displaying a list of options. |
01:10 | Click on Electro-negativity. |
01:13 | A chart of Pauling Electro-negativity versus Atomic number(Z) is displayed. |
01:18 | In the chart, highest Electro-negativity value is '4'. |
01:23 | I will close the Electro-negativity chart. |
01:26 | Likewise, different charts are available under View menu, |
01:29 | Element charts. |
01:32 | I will select Melting Temperature chart. |
01:35 | A chart of Melting point versus Atomic number(Z) is displayed. |
01:41 | In this chart, Carbon has highest melting point. |
01:46 | I will close Melting point chart. |
01:50 | Now, let's learn how to create a "Custom" chart. |
01:54 | Go to View, select Element Charts and click on Custom. |
02:01 | Customize Chart window and GChemTable Graph window appear on the screen. |
02:07 | Customize Chart window has, Graph hierarchy tree on the left and |
02:11 | Graph preview on the right. |
02:13 | Graph hierarchy tree displays the current graph components and their hierarchy. |
02:20 | Hierarchy can be modified using the buttons given in the panel. |
02:25 | Graph preview displays, |
02:26 | a scaled version of the modifications in the graph. |
02:31 | In the Graph hierarchy tree, |
02:32 | you can see Graph and Chart1. |
02:36 | By default, Graph is selected. |
02:39 | Now let's move to the panel below. |
02:42 | Here, there are two tabs: Style and Theme. |
02:46 | By default, Style tab is selected. |
02:51 | Here we have two headings: Outline and Fill. |
02:55 | Outline heading has 3 drop downs, namely, |
02:59 | Style, Color and Size. |
03:04 | These drop downs help to change the outline properties of the Graph. |
03:09 | Click on Style drop down and select any of the line styles shown. |
03:15 | For eg- I will select Long dash. |
03:20 | Click on Color drop down arrow to view all the available colours. |
03:25 | I will select 'green' colour. |
03:28 | Click on "Size" scroller arrow and increase the size to “3.0” pts. |
03:34 | All changes can be seen in the Graph preview area. |
03:38 | Next, let's look at Fill. |
03:41 | Under Fill, we can see Type drop-down button. |
03:45 | Click on Type drop-down button and select Pattern. |
03:50 | Attributes of Pattern appear below. |
03:52 | These include Pattern, Foreground and Background |
03:58 | Each attribute has a drop down that shows options to select from. |
04:03 | Click on Pattern drop-down, |
04:05 | to select a pattern of your choice. |
04:08 | Click on Foreground drop-down to select 'orange' color. |
04:13 | Click on Background drop-down to select black' color. |
04:18 | Observe all the changes in the Graph preview area. |
04:22 | You can explore the Theme tab options on your own. |
04:27 | Now let us select Chart1 in Graph hierarchy tree. |
04:31 | Click on Add button. |
04:34 | Select Title to Chart1 from the options list. |
04:39 | A new set of tabs open below. |
04:42 | By default, Data tab is selected. |
04:46 | In the Text field, type the title of the Chart. |
04:49 | I will type Atomic mass – Fusion Temperature. |
04:55 | Click on Font tab. |
04:58 | Here you can change the Font type, Font style, font Size and font Color. |
05:05 | I will increase font size to 14 and change the font color to 'maroon'. |
05:13 | Next click on Text tab. |
05:15 | Here you can change Orientation of the text. |
05:19 | This can be done in 2 ways- |
05:21 | 1. One by clicking directly in the preview area... |
05:24 | 2. Two by changing the Angle field using the scroller. |
05:31 | Click on Position tab. |
05:34 | I will leave the default values as they are. |
05:38 | In the Graph hierarchy tree let's go back and |
05:41 | click on Chart1 |
05:43 | In the panel below, three tabs, |
05:46 | Style, Position and Plot area are seen.. |
05:50 | By default Style tab is selected. |
05:54 | Let us go to Fill. |
05:56 | In the Type drop down, select Unicolor gradient. |
06:01 | Select Direction drop down and |
06:04 | select a direction of your choice. |
06:08 | Select End drop down and select colour of your choice. |
06:14 | Drag the “Brightness” slider, |
06:16 | to increase the brightness of the gradient. |
06:19 | Explore the options in Position and |
06:21 | Plot area tabs on your own. |
06:25 | Now let's click on Add button. |
06:28 | Select Plot to Chart1. |
06:31 | A submenu opens with various types of charts, namely, |
06:34 | XY, Bubble, ColoredXY and DropBar. |
06:40 | Each type of Chart has various subchart options. |
06:45 | Let us choose XY and XY Lines chart option. |
06:51 | A new set of tabs open below.By default, Style tab is selected. |
06:58 | Go to Interpolation |
07:00 | Click on Type scroller and Select “Bezier cubic spline” |
07:06 | Go to Fill. |
07:07 | In the Type scroller select “Bicolor gradient” |
07:12 | Click on Data tab. |
07:13 | Type name of the chart as, |
07:15 | Atomic-mass Vs Fusion temperature. |
07:20 | X: I will select Atomic mass on X axis. |
07:25 | Y: I will select Fusion temperature on Y axis. |
07:30 | Click on Markers tab. |
07:33 | 'Markers' are used to mark points on the chart. |
07:37 | Under Marker heading we have |
07:40 | Shape, Fill, Outline and Size. |
07:44 | Let's select Shape as circle. |
07:48 | Select Fill color as 'brown' and |
07:51 | leave the others as default. |
07:54 | Now let us click on Apply button. |
07:57 | The required chart is displayed on |
08:00 | GChemTable Graph window. |
08:03 | Let us now save this chart as an image. |
08:06 | First click on GChemTable Graph window. |
08:10 | Select File and |
08:11 | click on Save As Image option. |
08:14 | Save As Image dialog box opens. |
08:18 | Select the File type as PS document. |

08:24 | I will type “my-custom-chart”. |
08:27 | I will select Desktop as the location to save my file. |
08:32 | Click on Save button |
08:35 | Here is my saved document. |
08:38 | Right-click on the file and |
08:40 | choose the option Open with Document Viewer. |
08:44 | Here is my graph. |
08:47 | Let us summarize. |
08:48 | In this tutorial, we have learnt about- |
08:51 | Elemental Charts of
1. Electronegativity |
08:53 | 2. Melting Point and |
08:55 | how to create Custom Charts |
08:58 | Here is an assignment for you. |
09:00 | Explore |
09:01 | 1. Different Element charts. |
09:02 | 2. Other XY chart types |
