## Chapter 1. Introduction

KChart is intended primarily for use with KSpread. It is currently undergoing revision and should be considered beta software.

## Plotting with KChart

To plot with KChart, when it is embedded in KSpread, do the following:

- Highlight the second row of numbers.

- Next click on the Chart button to create the chart.

- Select the options you want from the chart Wizard. The chart Wizard will pop up after you insert the chart.

To make a bar chart for individual items, put the numbers in a column, as shown below.

The orientation of the numbers detremines how the plot will be made.

- A row of numbers defines the ordinates for a single plot.

- A column of numbers defines the heights for each bar, in a bar graph. It also determines the size of the slices in a pie chart.
