                  Types of Charts in LibreOffice Calc


                  LibreOffice Calc provides a variety of different chart formats such as Bar, Column, Pie, Line, Area,
                  Doughnut, Scatter, Bubble, Net and Stock.
                  Line Chart: It is used to show trends over a period of time. It is similar to plotting a graph on
                  a graph paper with its values on X and Y axis. It uses connecting dots to display trends over a
                  period of time.

                  Column Chart: It is usually used to display the data in the form of vertical bars. It is used to show the
                  changes in data over a period of time or comparison among the different data items. The categories
                  are represented on the horizontal axis and the values are represented on the vertical axis.

                  Pie Chart: It is a circular chart divided into sectors where each sector shows the relative size of
                  each value. It always shows only one data series. It is useful when you want to emphasis on a
                  significant element.
