Graphics in Calc

Calc is often used to present data and make forecasts and predictions. Graphics can

turn an average document into a memorable one. Calc can import various vector (line

drawing) and raster (bitmap) file formats. The most commonly used graphic formats

are GIF, JPG, PNG, and BMP. See the Help for a full list of the formats OOo can

import.

Graphics in Calc are of three basic types:

• Image files, such as photos, drawings, and scanned images

• Diagrams created using OOo’s drawing tools

• Charts and graphs created using OOo’s Chart facility

This chapter covers images and diagrams. Charts are described in Chapter 3

(Creating Charts and Graphs).

Although using graphics in Calc is very similar to using graphics in any other

component of OOo, this chapter explains some of the differences in their use. It also

covers some of the more advanced graphics functions and how they can further

enhance your spreadsheet.

Note

The term graphics refers to both pictures and drawing objects. Often

the word images is used when referring to pictures and other graphics

that are not drawing objects.

Adding graphics (images)

Images (also called pictures in OOo), such as corporate logos and photographs of

people and products, are probably the most common types of graphics added to a

Calc document. They may be downloaded from the Internet, scanned, or created with

a graphics program; or they may be photos taken with a digital camera.

Images can be inserted in four ways:

• Using the Insert File dialog

• By dragging and dropping a supported file

• From the gallery

• From the clipboard by copying and pasting

Inserting an image file

Perhaps the most common way to insert graphics is to use an existing file.

To insert an image from a file, use either of the following methods:

• Insert Picture dialog

• Drag and drop

Insert Picture dialog

1) Click in the location in the Calc document where you want the image to

appear. Do not worry too much about the exact placement of the image at this

stage; placement can be changed easily as described in “Positioning graphics”

on page 133.
