Time Narration
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.

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.

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
