Decent Graphs from Spreadsheet data?

[Matt Price]

Hi Eveyrone,

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

Either of these would be so helpful!  Thanks,
Matt
