Hi Eveyrone,<br>
<br>
Whew, I just spent about 2 hours grappling with Libreoffice Calc<br>
trying to get some graphs from spreadsheet data. That was painful! I<br>
was helping my duaghter with her homework, and she wanted scatter<br>
plots that graphed 2 columns against each other, but with the color of<br>
the dots dictated by the value of a third column (THe data is here, in<br>
google docs form:<br>
<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqhzp2yOOf0zdGc1MHozTm1XblZTdWVLN2JkcE4ySUE" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqhzp2yOOf0zdGc1MHozTm1XblZTdWVLN2JkcE4ySUE</a><br>
; she wante "Time of Call" graphed against "Response Time in Minutes"<br>
with datapoints colored for "Company Name"). Now, This seems to me<br>
like it ought to be straightforward to do, but instead we were<br>
searching for ever through complex GUI's & ended up with charts that<br>
were very hard to print out properly (eventually we saved them as<br>
JPEGS and printed from gimage -- that worked fine). Does anyuone<br>
havea better solution than libreoffice? Or, do you have a link to a<br>
really good guide to the chart features in libreoffice?<br>
<br>
Either of these would be so helpful! Thanks,<br>
Matt<br>
