13.2.1 Drawing the Graph

 

To draw a multiple line graph:

  1. Add the following column of numbers ( column C) to the spreadsheet you used in the last example. If you are just starting, enter all three columns of numbers.

    A B C
    1 1 1 2
    2 2 4 8
    3 3 9 18
    4 4 16 32
    5 5 25 50
    6 6 36 72
    7 7 49 98
    8 8 64 128
    9 9 81 162

  2. Select the range A1..C9. All three columns of data should now be highlighted.

  3. Select New Graph from the Graph menu and display its submenu.

  4. Select Line from the New Graph submenu. Within a second or two NExS displays a new window containing a line graph as shown in Figure 13.4.
