How can I create a graphic in Windows?

Microsoft Windows is an operating system that has thousands of applications that can be installed for productive use. There are programs available for free download on the Internet, which allow you to create graphics . These programs are known as open source programs, and some, such as OpenOffice, are offered by large companies such as Oracle Corporation. OpenOffice is a suite of open source programs that includes database, spreadsheet, word processor, presentations and scientific calculator programs. The Calc program generates diagrams and graphs. Create a data table and use the Chart Wizard to create a chart.

Steps to follow:

one

Open the OpenOffice Calc program, by clicking on "Start> All Programs> OpenOffice> OpenOffice.org Calc".

two

Create or open an existing table of data.

3

Highlight the data range, and choose the option "Insert" and then "Graphic" in the main menu. A graphic wizard dialog box will appear.

4

Select the type of chart or chart, and then click "Finish."

Tips
  • The graphical wizard allows you to configure the table as you wish. Once the graph data has been entered, double-click twice on the table to change the boundaries and colors of the area. Double-click on the chart area, and then right-click on a chart item to make changes.
  • The data table makes an absolute reference to the cells originally selected. A cut and paste of the data moves these references to the locations of the new cell.
  • Cells added above or below the data table will not appear in the table until they are included in the data range. Double-click on the chart area to select the chart, then click once on the same chart and press the right button to choose "data ranges" to add in the new cell reference.
