      The best way to learn how to use
      &gnum; is to begin exploring the
      program yourself. This chapter will help you get started trying
      new things and seeing what happens. The chapter explains the
      fundamentals of spreadsheets in general and of
      &gnum; in particular. The chapter
      attempts to help new users get started with
      &gnum; and provides background for
      the more detailed explanations given in the rest of the manual.

        Unfortunately, this manual cannot teach you the very basics of
        interacting with a modern computer. If you have never used
        computers, don't know the names of the hardware components
        (the pieces you can touch) or don't know the names of the
        elements you see on the screen (like windows or the mouse
        pointer), you will probably want to get some basic advice from
        someone you know or read the manuals which came with your
        machine or your operating system. It's all pretty easy but, in
        order to understand this manual, you will need to know some
        basic terminology and have some basic computing skills.

        If you are using the another desktop environment such as

        site linked with either your desktop environment, your
        operating system, your software distribution source or the
        people who provided you with your computer. There are also

    &gnum; includes a powerful mechanism

    in a worksheet. 
  </para>

  <para>
    The first section of this chapter starts with an overview of
    graph creation, discusses terminology, and presents graph
    components and their organization. The next section explains
    the <interface>"Chart Guru"</interface> which is the tool used to
    configure graphs. The subsequent section presents the different
    types of plots which can be included in a graph and the final
    section explains how data can be pre-selected to speed up the
    process of graph creation.
  </para>

  <note>
    <para>
      Charts are exceedingly effective communication
      devices. Unfortunately, this means that one cannot determine,
      simply based on the data to be plotted, what type of plot will be
      the most effective. Instead users must familiarize themselves with
      the various types of plots which are available and decide for
      themselves which plot type is the most effective to communicate
      an idea. <xref
      linkend="sect-graphs-overview" /> contains a
      detailed explanation of the plot types available in
      &gnum;.
