CHARTS IN CALC

                  A chart is an effective way to display data in a pictorial form. It makes it easier to draw comparison
                  and analyse the growth, relationship and trends among the values in a table.

                  Components of a Chart

                  A char has the following components:
                       Chart Title: Chart title describes the main aim and content of the chart, which represents
                      your chart.

                       X-axis: X-axis is the horizontal axis of the chart. It is also called the category axis.
                       Y-axis: Y-axis is the vertical axis of the chart. It is also called the value axis.
                       Plot Area: It is the rectangular area bounded by the two axis. It contains the actual chart and

                      includes the plotted data, data series, category and value axis.
                       Data Series: Data series is related to the set of values. It is represented by the bars or slices
                      that represent the data values.

                       Data Labels: Data labels includes data values, category name, series name, legend keys and
                      values from cells.
                       Gridlines: These can be either horizontal or vertical lines depending on the selected chart
                      type. It makes it easier to read and understand the values.

                       Legend: Legend is a key which shows the meanings of symbols and colours used in the
                      chart.
