Spreadsheet Tool : OO Calc II — Question 9

The different components of a chart are as follows:

1. X-axis — This is the horizontal axis known as category.
2. Y-axis — This is the vertical axis known as value axis.
3. Data series — This is the set of values we want to plot in the chart.
4. Chart area — This is the total region surrounding the chart.
5. Plot area — This is the area of chart in which our data is plotted. The plot area is bounded by axes in a 2-D chart.
6. Chart Title — This is the descriptive text aimed at helping user identify the chart.
7. Axes titles — These are the titles given to three axes i.e., X, Y and Z axes.
8. Legend — The legends help us identify various plotted data series. Each series can be uniquely identified by assigning a unique colour or pattern. This unique colour or pattern which identifies a data series, is known as legend.
9. Gridlines — These are the horizontal and vertical lines in the plot area. The gridlines are inserted in the chart to enhance its readability.
10. Data label — This is a label that provides additional information about a data marker, which represents a single data item or value coming from a worksheet cell.
