Chapter 4: Spreadsheets in Calc
If the legend is moved over another object of the chart, its Properties dialogue can no longer be opened by double-
clicking on it,as Calc won't know which object is meant. To open the Properties dialogue either use the Format
menu or click once on the legend, then open the context menu and select Object Properties. The same applies to all
other objects of the chart.
Adding Texture to Chart Bars
Assign a bar type to a bitmap rather than, say, using full colour.
1. Switch to edit mode by double-clicking on the chart.
2. Double-click on the corresponding bar (all bars of this colour are now selected).
3. From the context menu, select the Object Properties entry
4. Choose the Area tab page.
5. Click on Bitmap. Now select a bitmap from the list box as texture for this bar.
6. Clicking OK to accept the setting.
Editing Chart Axis
When the scale of the vertical Y axis requires changing, do the following:
1. Double-click on the chart.
A gray border appears around the chart and the menu bar now contains commands for
editing the objects in the chart.
2. Select Format > Axis > Y axis to edit the Y axis, or double-click on the Y axis. This
opens the Y axis dialogue. Modify as needed.
To modify the scale of the x-axis,
1. Select the Scale tab and make any adjustments.
2. Click OK.
3. In the document, click outside the chart to exit chart editing mode.
