My confusion seems to stem from the chart tools different things depending on how many times you click it. I don't understand why I should be able to do different things if the border is green & black than if its grey.

[SLUG] I need helop creating a chart in OpenOffice
There is clearly something I'm missing here. I have a simple spreadsheet in OpenOffice. It looks like this. 01:25:285.15 01:25:304.5 01:25:320 01:25:340 The time's on the left, a value is on the right. Just like the above. Except a lot longer. I'd like to chart it. I can chart it. The chart mainly looks how I want. X is the number on the left. Y is the number on the right. Problem: OpenOffice wants to put a label for each value on the X axis. 01:25:28 01:25:30 01:25:32 01:25:34 I have a few hundred values on the X axis. Text is everywhere. I'd prefer just a few values marked on the X axis. Or even none at all. Anyone know how I do that?
