Charts then prompts the user to specify the range of cells to be charted. There are numerous three-dimensional chart types. It is simple to change such properties as lighting, transparency, position, etc., using Chart's Appearance Palette, shown in Figure 3. The use of QD3D permits effective animations of the charts. Thus, one great use of Charts is for presentation graphics.
Charts presents the most common chart types.
However, it lacks some of the more advanced chart types found in dedicated charting packages. A screen-shot of a Numbers spreadsheet with an embedded Charts object is shown in Figure 4. Instead of a large grid of cells that are related to each other via some hidden formula, there are small grids, just the size of the required input data. These cells are interconnected by various operators and feed output cells. The whole process is drag and drop.
