9 Creating Charts

You can turn spreadsheet data into attractive

charts. This chapter outlines the basics of creating

charts in Pages.

Pages provides tools for creating your own visually appealing charts to present

numerical data. You can copy and paste your data from a spreadsheet, or type it

directly into the Chart Data Editor to create and edit your charts right on the page.

About Charts

Charts show the relationship of two types of data with respect to each other. For

example, if you chart business growth over time, you are showing the relationship

between the size of the business versus the passage of years. If you chart voting

results among different demographic groups, you are showing the relationship

between the number of people who voted a certain way versus their demographic

affiliation. When you enter data for a chart, the two different types of data are

represented as data series and data sets.

In a business chart, an example of a data series could be one region’s profits over four

successive years; the data sets could be all of the regions’ profits for only one of those

years. In the illustration below, the data series (each region’s profits) are in rows, and

the data sets (each year’s profits) are in columns. Each individual value (for example,

17 for Region 1, 2004) is a data point.
