&kchart; is an application for visualizing numerical data. It has many

different chart types available like bar graphs, line plots, pie charts,

ring charts and more.

&kchart; is a &koffice; component and is very well integrated with &kspread;
|
|
to allow visualization of spreadsheet data. But it is also possible to use
|
|
&kchart; as a standalone application or integrate it in other &koffice;
|
|
components.

|
&kchart; is a tool for visualizing numerical data. It can be used
|
|
as a standalone application with a simple &dataeditor;. But as a
|
|
&koffice; component it offers very flexible integration. &kspread;
|
|
uses the &kchart; component for charts and diagrams. &kspread;
|
|
can be seen as a very powerful data provider for &kchart; input.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
But embedding is not limited to &kspread;. A &kchart; chart can
|
|
be embedded in many of the &koffice; components like &kword;,
|
|
&kpresenter; or &kivio;.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To start with we will look at the user interface of &kchart;
|
|
and how it can be used as a standalone application. When we
|
|
are familiar with &kchart; we will investigate the charting
|
|
capabilities it offers together with &kspread;.

We will take a look at a simple example to get to know &kchart;.
|
|
Along the way we will also discuss the user interface at length
|
|
so you will learn about many details of the component.

</para>

When you start &kchart; as a standalone application you get
|
|
the usual startup dialog where you can choose between different
|
|
templates or load existing chart documents.

You can choose between various ways to startup &kchart;. On the left, you can
|
|
see three options: <guilabel>Recent Documents</guilabel>,
|
|
<guilabel>Charts</guilabel> templates and <guilabel>Open Existing
|
|
Document...</guilabel>. The first option lets you choose between
|
|
recently opened charts, the second is for creating a
|
|
new chart from various templates and the third is for opening an existing
|
|
chart with a file dialog.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For now we will start with the default template. Select
|
|
<guilabel>Charts</guilabel> in the left area and then select
|
|
<guilabel>Bar Chart</guilabel> in the main template area. Normally
|
|
this template should already be selected after choosing
|
|
<guilabel>Charts</guilabel>.

<para>
|

If you decide to always start &kchart; with a selected template as default
|

you can also check <guilabel>Always use this template</guilabel>.

As you can see, there is already some example data present. &kchart;
|
|
offers the default toolbar for creating a new chart, saving, loading
|
|
and printing the chart. The second toolbar offers icons for editing
|
|
the data, configuring the chart or using a configuration wizard.
|
|
You can also switch between different chart types with the rest
|
|
of the icons. Note that some of these chart types also have subtypes.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The menu offers all standard entries, including shortcut and
|
|
toolbar configuration and page layout for printing.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note that data editing is not available if you use &kchart; from
|
|
within &kspread; because all data is provided by the spreadsheet.
|
|
As a standalone application the &dataeditor; is an important part
|
|
of the application.

setting up some basic options like chart type and chart labelling

You can run the wizard at any time, it will always preserve your data

the wizard is just a way to set some basic and important options

The next step in the wizard is to actually choose the primary
|
|
type of the chart. This selection has the most important
|
|
impact on how your data will be presented. Thus it should
|
|
be chosen well. You can change the type of the chart with the
|
|
icons in the toolbar without losing any data or configuration
|
|
later on. In fact it is even considered normal to test all the
|
|
various chart types to find the best fitting.

<para>

In this example we choose the <guilabel>Lines</guilabel> type. Depending on the

chosen chart type different options are available in the

following steps.

This short overview of the configuration options gave you an

|
introduction to the configuration possibilities of your chart,
|
|
it is by no means complete. Different chart types like <guilabel>Bar</guilabel>,
|
|
<guilabel>Line</guilabel> and <guilabel>Pie</guilabel>, have
|
|
additional specialised configuration pages and you are welcome
|
|
to look around, try different chart types and look at the
|
|
configuration possibilities. Use the tooltips and read the
|
|
What's This? help. To use the What's This? help simply
|

click on the question mark on the window
|
|
decoration and then click on the area of the configuration

page you want get more information on.

The first step, and probably the most important, is to get the
|
|
actual data into the chart. This can easily be done with the
|
|
&dataeditor;. As usual you can get to the data editor by
|
|
clicking on the <inlinemediaobject><imageobject>
|

<imagedata fileref="cr22-action-data.png" format="PNG"/>
|
|
</imageobject></inlinemediaobject> icon in the toolbar.

You will notice that no data is present. Also note that

the number of data rows and columns is set to a minimum,
|
|
which is 1.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Now, just enter the data you see in the next screenshot.
|
|
Note that you can increase the number of rows and columns
|
|
with the spin boxes in the lower left corner. The names
|
|
of the rows and columns themselves can be changed by
|
|
clicking on them.

That's all what we need for a reasonable looking chart. Note

that much of this configuration could also have been achieved

with the wizard. It's basically a matter of taste what you

use. Experienced users will likely use the full option dialog

we used in this example.

There are certainly aspects to improve further for your personal

taste. For example try to make the title font even bigger.

of the &kchart; application.

<title>Using &kchart; in &kspread;</title>

<para>
|
|
In addition to standalone operation, &kchart; is designed to be used with
|
|
&kspread;. This chapter describes how to create and manipulate charts
|
|
from within &kspread;.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Remember that &kchart; embedding into &kspread; is a very commonly
|
|
used and well implemented feature, the examples in this chapter should
|
|
just get you started.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
As soon as you have created a chart in &kspread; you can take full
|
|
advantage of all the &kchart; features by double clicking on the
|
|
chart area. This is necessary to get to all advanced configuration
|
|
options. Keep in mind that the data editor is not available when
|
|
&kchart; is embedded into &kspread;. This is obvious since &kspread;
|
|
serves, from &kchart;'s point of view, as a powerful data
|
|
provider.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Swapping x and y is of particular interest when working with &kspread;.
|
|
You can swap interpretation of x and y axis in &kchart; in the
|
|
Data Format settings which can be accessed through the Edit menu
|
|
or the context menu when right clicking on the chart itself. As noted
|
|
above you need to be inside the &kchart; component in order to access
|
|
these settings, which can be done by double clicking the embedded
|
|
chart in your spreadsheet.
