–
Among the office automation programs belonging to the Microsoft package we find the PowerPoint program, with which you can make presentations for work. In this article we want to explain a little about what you can do with this program, just as how to insert charts into PowerPoint for a presentation.
What are and what are the types of graphics that can be inserted in PowerPoint?
PowerPoint is a program that can be used from compatible mobiles to do any type of presentation with all graphic types that it offers to users. Next we are going to mention what each of the types of graphs in PowerPoint are and what they are for.
Rounded shape
Clearly as the name implies, these are graphs drawn with a round or circular figure, which can be divided into pieces proportional to the figures. These graphics work in most cases to make comparisons with estimated percentages; and in addition, it has several fonts.
Area and surface graph
For starters, area charts are used to contrast what data you have and how it changes over an estimated period of time. On the other hand, surface graphs expose data in a three-dimensional way, and they are special for when there is a large set of the data.
Of lines, columns and bars
Line charts are used to represent how stocks or shares rise or fall over an estimated time; those of bars, are used to present a lot of data. Finally there are the bar charts, the most used in PowerPoint to sort all types of data individually.
What are some examples of which graphic a presentation needs?
For a PowerPoint chart to be eye-catching and do the job it is important that we know what type of graph to use depending on the data that we want to present.
Dispersion
These graphs are used to represent information that is numerical, this is what we also recognize as ‘Y’ or ‘X’. These same are used also to make a contrast between data but without referring to the time that has passed during an analysis.
To make comparisons
With these graphs you can make as many comparisons between two or more available data, and in that way make comparisons between time frames.
Of quotes
These are little used, but they are the ones used in companies to be able to do a count against the economy Of the same. In this way, studies can be made of an exact amount of the increase in the shares of the economy.
To represent distribution frequencies
To make these representations of distribution frequencies, box plots are often used to make an efficient presentation of variables.
What is the way to insert a chart into PowerPoint?
The steps to follow to place a graphic in a PowerPoint presentation are very simple, and we will explain how.
From the task bar
To do this, go to the taskbar of the downloadable version of Point 2016 and click ‘Insert’ to select the ‘Graphic’ option, where you can choose the type. Once you choose a type and model of graph you will have to enter the exact data for the graph you are going to make.
With the mouse
When you have taken a chart model to expose your data with the mouse from the PowerPoint task bar you can expand or contract the size of the chart. To do that with the mouse, you just have to place it in each corner of the graph and click to drag the size of the box.
Why is the shape of a graph not provided?
The shape of a graph is not proportional from the preview because that is what these graphs are for, to present multiple values that are different. Clearly these charts feature a variety in their shapes that the shape of a chart is unlikely to look proportionate.
