 INTRODUCTION

A chart (sometimes known as a graph) is a graphical representation for data visualization, in which
"the data is represented by symbols, such as bars in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie
chart". A chart can represent tabular numeric data, functions or some kinds of quality structure and
provides different info.
The term "chart" as a graphical representation of data has multiple meanings:
• A data chart is a type of diagram or graph, that organizes and represents a set of numerical or
qualitative data.
• Maps that are adorned with extra information (map surround) for a specific purpose are often
known as charts, such as a nautical chart or aeronautical chart, typically spread over
several map sheets.
• Other domain-specific constructs are sometimes called charts, such as the chord chart in
music notation or a record chart for album popularity.
 COMPONENTS OF A CHART

The various components of a chart are:

➢ X-axis : This is the horizontal axis known as category axis.
➢ Y-axis : This is the vertical axis known as value axis. The X and Y axes
divide the XY plane into four quadrants.

➢ Data Series: This is the set of values we want to plot in the chart.
➢ Chart area: This is the total region surrounding the chart.
➢ Plot area: This is the area of chart in which our data is plotted. The plot area
is bounded by axes in a 2-D chart.

➢ Chart Title: This is the descriptive text aimed at helping user identify the chart.

➢ Axes titles: These are the titles given to three axes i.e., X, Y and Z axes.
➢ Legend: The legends help us to identify various plotted data series. Each
series can be uniquely identified by assigning a unique color or
pattern. This unique color or pattern which identifies a data series
is known as legend.

➢ Gridlines: These are the horizontal and vertical lines in the plot area. The
gridlines are inserted in the chart to enhance its readability.

➢ Data label: This is a label that provides additional information about a data
marker, which represents a single data item or value coming from a
worksheet cell.
 INSERTING CHARTS IN ELECTRONIC SPREADSHEET

To insert a chart in an electronic spreadsheet we have to follow the following steps

Step 1: Select the cells that contain the source data for the chart. Now, if we want
the column and row label to appear in the chart, include the cells containing
them in the section.
Step 2: Now click the Chart icon on Standard toolbar.

Step 3: Now the Chart Wizard dialog pops up. From the Chart Wizard dialog box,
select Chart Type dialog, select the desired chart type and sub-type. After
selecting the desired chart type, click on “Next > >” to move on to the next
step.

Step 4: After we click at “Next > >” button, Data Range dialog pops up. In this
dialog, if we want to change the data range for the chart, click on the Data
Range box, and then select the source data range on your worksheet. Once
we’re through, click on “Next > >” to move on to the next step.
Step 5: In Data Series, we can change the source range of all data series separately,
including their labels. We can also change the range of the categories.
Step 6: In this step, we can specify various chart elements i.e., title of the chart,
subtitle of the chart, titles for X and Y axes, and position of legend. Please
note that if we do not enter title, subtitle and axes’ titles then we won’t be
able to add/edit the titles later on when the chart is ready. And finally after
all this,click on Finish button to finish the chart creation process. The
moment we click Finish, we’ll be able to see the chart that we’ve created.

Now, let us discuss the different types of Charts that are present on Open Office Worksheet
(Calc). There are 10 different types of charts. They are as follows:-
• Area Chart
• Column Chart
• Bar Chart
• Line Chart
• Pie Chart
• Donut Chart
• XY Scatter Chart
• Net Chart
• Stock Chart
• Column & Line Chart
 AREA CHART
An area chart or area graph displays graphically quantitative data. It is based on the line chart. The
area between axis and line are commonly emphasized with colors, textures and hatchings.
Commonly one compares two or more quantities with an area chart.
 COLUMN CHART
A bar chart or bar graph is a chart or graph that presents categorical data with rectangular bars
with heights or lengths proportional to the values that they represent. The bars can be plotted
vertically or horizontally. A vertical bar chart is sometimes called a column chart.
 BAR CHART
A bar chart is a way of summarizing a set of categorical data (continuous data can be made
categorical by auto-binning). The bar chart displays data using a number of bars, each representing a
particular category. The height of each bar is proportional to a specific aggregation (for example the
sum of the values in the category it represents).
 LINE CHART
A line chart or line graph, also known as curve chart, is a type of chart which displays
information as a series of data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments. It is a
basic type of chart common in many fields.
 PIE CHART
A pie chart (or a circle chart) is a circular statistical graphic, which is divided into slices to
illustrate numerical proportion. In a pie chart, the arc length of each slice (and consequently
its central angle and area) is proportional to the quantity it represents. While it is named for its
resemblance to a pie which has been sliced, there are variations on the way it can be presented. The
earliest known pie chart is generally credited to William Playfair's Statistical Breviary of 1801.
 DONUT CHART
A doughnut chart (also spelled donut) is a variant of the pie chart, with a blank center allowing for
additional information about the data as a whole to be included. Doughnut charts are similar to pie
charts in that their aim is to illustrate proportions This type of circular graph can support multiple
statistics at once and it provides a better data intensity ratio to standard pie charts. It does not have
to contain information in the center.
 XY SCATTER CHART
Scatter charts show numeric coordinates along the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) axes. Use a
scatter chart when you want to find out how much one variable is affected by another. For example,
plot the salary of employees and years of experience. Learn how to add & edit a chart.
 NET CHART
A net chart is similar to polar or radar chart. They are useful for comparing data that are not time
series, but show different circumstances, such as variables in a scientific experiment or direction.
 STOCK CHART
Stock charts are graphs that show how a company's publicly traded shares are performing. These
charts can show a company's stock performance over time periods ranging from several years to a
few days. You can also even watch a company's stock change throughout the day while the market
is open.
 COLUMN AND LINE CHARTS
Column and line charts are essentially a dual axis chart that combines a column and line chart. Dual
axis charts can be useful when comparing values that have different units of measure. Start your
first project. Learn how to create a column and line chart.
 CONCLUSION
Advantages of using charts/graphs are in the following:-
• Quick for the audience to visualize what is been conveyed-number trends up or down.
• Forceful-emphasizes main point (highlights visually interesting thoughts)
• Convincing-proves a point, see and here.
• Compact way to convey information.
• More interesting than just talk or print (remember to use as many of the five senses as
possible ).
• Personally it was an amazing opportunity for me to learn something new by attempting to
create this interesting project. I was amazed by how much charts can help us in several ways
in our daily life.
