- If you select these two columns and then select file, new, chart from the
- menu you will get a question asking if the first coulumn is catagory labels,
- the first data series, or x-axis values. If you select catagory labels you
- will get the chart you are getting. If, however you select x-axis values,
- you will get an x-y plot and not a line plot. This will make the distance
- between the values on the x- axis relative to their numerical value.
