How to plot Histogram data in Excel/LibreCalc

Post by thomas »

Hello, sorry if it is a dumb question. I am trying to plot the histogram data of a point cloud in LibreOffice Calc but I am not sure which range of values will go on x-axis and y-axis. I have imported .csv file into Calc and separated each column. Now I have four columns namely 'Class', 'Value', 'Class start', and 'Class end'. How can I plot these values that should look like histogram I have in CloudCompare.
P.S- I am doing this in LibreOffice because I have to compare multiple point clouds that should have equal data ranges on x-axis and y-axis.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Are you exporting the file from the 'Histogram' dialog of CloudCompare?

In this case I think that the easiest way to reproduce the histogram in a spreadsheet tool would be to compute the class center (as the average between 'class start' and 'class end') and use it as 'x', and then use the 'Value' as 'y'?
