Displaying data in charts (graphs)
A chart (or graph)
shows graphic relationships and trends among data. You
can chart data in a spreadsheet frame as well as in a spreadsheet document.
Making charts
To make a chart, select a cell range and then choose Make Chart from the
Options menu. In the Chart Options dialog box, click a chart type in the
Gallery, and then click OK. AppleWorks draws the chart and places it on top
of the spreadsheet.
Tip To create a chart quickly, select the cells and click one of the chart
buttons on the Default button bar. Double-click the chart to change chart
options.
You can create more than one chart for each spreadsheet or spreadsheet
frame.
Updating chart data The chart is linked to the spreadsheet, so when you
change data in the spreadsheet, AppleWorks updates the chart. Copying (or
cutting) and pasting a chart severs its link to the spreadsheet data. If you then
change the spreadsheet data, AppleWorks won’t update the pasted chart.
