Chapter 4: Spreadsheets in Calc
The type of chart can also be changed, after the fact. Double-click on the chart and choose
Format > Chart Type, a dialogue appears offering various types from which to choose.
Experiment with the different options in the Chart Type dialogue. Try switching between 2D
and 3D representations. With the Columns chart type, a Combination Chart of lines and
columns can be created.
• The three-dimensional representations make special effects possible. In 3D charts, one can
even adjust the illumination settings, such as light source, ambient light and the colour
filter.
• 3D charts can be rotated and flipped with the mouse for optimal design.
• By choosing Insert > Statistics, users can apply statistical indicators to XY charts, such as
standard deviations, with regression curves and more besides. A single or double
logarithmic representation of the axes can also be set here.
• In line charts there are various icons that can be applied automatically via OpenOffice.org
Chart, as desired. Manual application is also possible using graphic files or graphics from
the Gallery such as Bullets.
