12.4 Placing a Graph in the Sheet

   

NExS lets you place graphs in the spreadsheet itself. This is done by inserting the graph into an anchor cell in the sheet using the Insert in Sheet... option of the Graph menu. The graph will be inserted into the sheet with the upper left corner occupying the cell where the cursor is positioned. This cell will now contain the graph. It can be moved, copied, and deleted like other cells. Just remember that, like text that overflows into adjacent blank cells, the graph is only in the upper left cell and overflows into adjoining cells for display.

To insert a graph into the sheet:

  1. Define the graph and save it using the Graph Edit window.

  2. Select Insert in Sheet... from the Graph menu on the sheet.

  3. Position the cursor to the cell on the sheet where you want the graph.

  4. Select the desired graph from the Choose Graph dialog box and click OK. The graph will be displayed in the sheet.


When a graph is displayed in the sheet it will fill as many cells as needed to display the graph with the width and height with which it was saved. To achieve the appearance that you want, you may adjust the size of the graph itself using the Edit Graph... operation, and/or adjust the row heights as column widths as described in Chapter 8, Defining the Appearance of the Spreadsheet.
