Show Your Data as a Chart

Many presentations include groups of data to make a point. For example, you may wish to show a comparison between the sales figures for different quarters of the current year. In most cases, this data is much more effective when expressed as a chart or graph, rather than as text.

Charts are just one of the types of content that can be easily added, using one of the content layout slides. The chart is actually created using the companion program, OpenOffice Calc, which is included in the free download.

By default, the chart is composed of sample data. Simply add your own data into the table, and the chart will update with any changes.
