Position is defined as a X,Y coordinate relative to a fixed point (the base point),
typically located at the upper left of the document. You can temporarily change this
base point to make positioning or dimensioning simpler (click on the spot
corresponding to the location of the base point in either of the two selection windows
on the right side of the dialog—upper for positioning or lower for dimensioning).
The possible base point positions correspond to the handles on the selection frame
plus a central point. The change in position lasts only as long as you have the dialog
open; when you close this dialog, Calc resets the base point to the standard position.
Tip
The Keep ratio option is very useful. Select it to keep the ratio of width
to height fixed while you change the size of an object.
Either or both the size and position can be protected so that they cannot be
accidentally changed. Select the appropriate options.
Tip
If you cannot move an object, check to see if its position is protected.
Gallery of chart types
Its important to remember that while your data can be presented with a number of
different charts, the message you want to convey to your audience dictates the chart
you ultimately use. The following sections present examples of the types of charts
that Calc provides, with some of the tweaks that each sort can have and some notes
as to what purpose you might have for that chart type. For further details, see the
OpenOffice.org Help index.
Column charts
Column charts are commonly used for data that shows trends over time. They are
best for charts that have a relatively small number of data points. (For a larger time
series, a line chart would be better.) It is the default chart type, as it is one of the
most useful charts and the easiest to understand.
Bar charts
