To make the pie charts:
- Start a new spreadsheet, saving the histogram
spreadsheet as histograms.
- Enter the following data into the new spreadsheet:
| A | B |
1 | cars | 10000 |
2 | boats | 2000 |
3 | planes | 6000 |
4 | trains | 1000 |
5 | bicycles | 600 |
| | |
- Select the range A1..B5. The columns should now be
highlighted.
- Select New Graph from the Graph menu and display its
submenu.
- Select Pie Graph from the New Graph submenu. NExS
will display a window containing a pie divided into 5
slices as shown in
Figure 13.12.
Each slice consumes
a portion of the pie equal to the percentage of its
data value out of the total of the values in column
B. Each slice is also labeled with the text from
column A and the percentage of the pie slice. The X
data range (first column or row) contains the labels
and the Y data range (second column or row) contains
the sizes of the slices.
