Best chart format for LaTeX from spreadsheet
I want to import several charts from OpenOffice Calc. I created the charts, and since Calc has no direct graphics export, pasted the graph into OpenOffice Draw, and then exported the selected graph into PNG for eventual import into LaTeX. This works, but the quality of the chart is poor (the output is meant for printing at a press).
Some questions in this regard:
1. What is the best 'route' for getting a chart from Calc into LaTeX
2. What dimensions are appropriate for the chart in Calc?
Thanks in advance

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

try to export a vector graphic (e.g. EPS). Vector graphics can be scaled without losing quality.
