Time Narration
00:00 Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Calc-Inserting Charts in spreadsheets.
00:08 In this tutorial we will learn the following:
00:11 Creating,Editing and Formatting Charts
00:15 Resizing and moving of Charts
00:18 Here we are using GNU/Linux as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:27 So let us start learning about the various viewing options in LibreOffice Calc.
00:33 Charts can be powerful ways to convey information to the reader.
00:38 LibreOffice Calc offers a variety of charts formats for your data.
00:43 Using Calc, you can customize charts to a considerable extent too.
00:48 Let us open our 'personal finance tracker.ods' sheet.
00:53 And let us fill the amount spent on each of the items listed in the sheet.
00:59 We will click on the cell referenced as “E3” and type the amount as “6500”.
01:06 Now going down the column, we will type the amounts as

“1000”,”625”,”310” and “2700” in the cell referenced as “E4”,”E5”,”E6” and “E7” respectively.

01:26 Next we shall fill the amounts received on each of the items listed in the sheet.
01:31 So click on the cell referenced as “F3” and type the amount as “500”.
01:37 Now going down this column, we will type the amounts as “200”,”75”,”10” and “700” in the cells referenced as “F4”,”F5”,”F6” and “F7” respectively.
01:54 Let us now learn how to create a chart for this table.
01:58 In order to create a chart, we have to first select the data to be included in the chart.
02:05 So Click on the cell“SN” and without releasing the mouse button, drag the cursor till the last cell which has “700” in it.
02:14 Now click on the “Insert” option in the menubar and then click on the “Chart” option.
02:21 You see that the default chart with the date is inserted into the worksheet.
02:27 Simultaneously the "Chart Wizard" dialogue box opens up.
02:32 The "Chart Wizard" shows that the default chart is selected.
02:36 This default chart updates to reflect the changes you make in the Chart Wizard.
02:42 The "Chart Wizard" dialogue box has three main parts ,the steps involved in setting up the chart, choice of chart types, and the options for each chart type.
02:55 By checking the “3D Look” option, one can also get the chart display in three dimension.
03:03 Lets try these options.
03:06 We will click on the “Bar” option under the “Choose a chart type” field.
03:11 Observe that the sample chart shows the representation of the data in the table in the “Bar” format.
03:19 Similarly you can click on the other options like “Pie”, <pause> “Area”, <pause> “Bubble” <pause>
03:28 and many other options under the “Choose a chart type field” and get the required type of chart.
03:35 Under the “Steps” option, we have another option named “Data Range”.
03:41 Using this option, you can manually edit the range of data you want to represent in the chart.
03:48 The default option of plotting data is “Data series in columns”.
03:54 We can change the way we want to plot the data, by using “Data series in rows” instead.
04:02 This is useful if you use a style of chart such as “Column” to display your data.
04:10 Lastly, you can choose whether to use the

“First row as label”

04:17 or “First column as label”,
04:22 or both as labels on the axes of the chart.
04:27 Then click on data series in column again.
04:31 Now, in our sample chart, if we wish to remove the data under the heading “Received”, we can do so by first clicking inside the “Data range” field.
04:42 And then editing the range “$A$1 is to $F$7” to “$A$1 is to $D$7” .
04:56 Observe that the data under the heading “Received”, is no longer represented in the chart.
05:03 Next, lets see what “Data Series” does.
05:08 Notice there are 5 rows here, representing the total rows of data in our spreadsheet.
05:14 The “Add” and “Remove” buttons will allow us to add or remove rows of data from the chart.
05:21 We can also re-order the data by using the “Up” and “Down” buttons.
05:27 So after selecting what and how to represent data in the chart, click on the “Finish” button in the dialog box.
05:35 You see that the chart is inserted into the spreadsheet.
05:40 After learning about how to insert charts in spreadsheet,
05:44 we will now learn how to format charts in LibreOffice Calc.
05:49 The “Format” menu has many options for formatting
05:53 and fine-tuning the appearance of the charts.
05:57 Let us format the chart we inserted into the spreadsheet.
06:00 So, double-click on the chart so that it is enclosed by a gray border
06:06 indicating that it is in the “Edit” mode.
06:11 Now click on the “Format” option in the main menu.
06:15 You see that the drop down menu contains a number of formatting options like “Format Selection”, “Position and Size”, “Arrangement”, “Chart Wall” , “Chart Area” and many more.
06:30 They are used for positioning the chart, arranging and formatting the background and title of the chart.
06:36 We will learn about the most frequently used formatting options one by one.
06:42 The “Format Selection” option opens a dialog box with the heading “Chart Area”.
06:49 Observe that there are 3 tabs here - “Borders”, “Area” and “Transparency”.
06:55 By default “Borders” tab is selected.
07:00 Let us change the style and color of the chart’s border.
07:04 To do so, click on the “Style” field and choose “Continuous”.
07:09 Then similarly in the “Color” field click on “Green”.
07:13 Now click on the “OK” button.
07:18 Notice that the style and color of the chart border changes accordingly.
07:23 The “Title” option formats the title of the chart and its axes.
07:29 The “Axis” option formats the lines that create the chart
07:33 as well as the font of the text that appears on both the X and Y axes.
07:39 Explore all of these options on your own later in order to learn what they do.
07:46 Calc also provides an option for changing the background of the chart area.
07:50 The chart area is the area surrounding the chart graphic, including the main title and key.
07:58 To format the chart area, click on the “Format” option and select “Chart Wall”.
08:05 You see that a dialog box appears with the heading “Chart Wall”.
08:09 The “Style” field displays “Continuous” as this was our last choice.
08:15 In the “Color” field, let’s click on “Red”.
08:19 We will also change the size to “0.20”cm.
08:23 Now click on the “OK” button.
08:27 You see that the style and color of the chart area changes. <pause>
08:34 Next we will learn about how to resize and move elements in a chart.
08:39 For resizing a chart, click on the sample chart.
08:44 You see that green handles appear around the chart.
08:47 To increase or decrease the size of the chart, click and drag one of the markers in one of the four corners of the chart.
08:55 In order to move a chart, first click on the chart.
09:00 Now hover the cursor anywhere over the chart.
09:04 The cursor turns to a hand.
09:06 Click and move the chart to the desired location. Now, release the mouse button.
09:13 You have moved the chart!
09:17 Next we will learn how to resize charts by using the “Position and Size” dialog box.
09:23 Again, click on the chart.
09:26 Now right-click on the chart and select “Position and Size” from the context menu.
09:32 The “Position and Size” dialog box appears.
09:36 It has various fields that can set the 'X' and 'Y' positions of the chart as well as the width and height of the chart.
09:45 Let us set the 'X' coordinate to “1.00” “ and 'Y' coordinate to “0.83” “ for our chart.
09:55 Click on the “OK” button.
09:57 We see that the chart positions itself according to the set values within the chart area.
