Creating graphs from a spreadsheet

Abstract

Most of the spreadsheet programs now available allow you to display data held on your worksheet in a number of graphical forms, both on the screen or in ‘hard copy’ produced by a printer or a plotter. The quality of the screen you use decides the quality of the graphs displayed, the best being the Super VGA colour screen. The best-printed graphs are produced on a laser printer, and the larger the number of dots per inch (dpi) printed the better the quality of the output. Laser printers with 400 dpi and 600 dpi are easily available now.
