Configuring Graph Element Properties

• The Gnumeric Manual, version 1.12
• Graphs

Graphs in Gnumeric can be configured extensively using the Graph Guru. In this way, the user can determine the data used in the plots, the names and labels associated with the data, the numerical values of the axes and the stylistic presentation of all the graphical elements.

Graphs are configured element by element, first by selecting the element name in the top left area of the second panel of the Graph Guru, shown as area F in Figure 10-3, and, second, by altering the properties in the bottom area of the second panel of the Graph Guru, shown as area J. These changes will be applied to the graph only when the OK button is pressed.

A number of properties of the graph are configured using the Gnumeric entry box shown in Figure 10-15.

Figure 10-15 The data entry box widget

The data entry box widget allows users to enter data as defined values (e.g. "A name", 123, or {12,32,14}), as references (e.g. 'Sheet1!A2:B4'), or as expressions (e.g. sin({11,16}) ).

Information can be inserted to the data entry box, first, by selecting the box with a mouse click and, then, either typing data on a keyboard or using the mouse to select a region of the worksheet.
