Another thing that we'll commonly deal with as we deal with Numbers spreadsheets is something called a chart and a chart obviously is a graphical way to present data and usually that data comes from the tables that you build. So these two things go hand in hand and in fact, if you take a template like the one I've chosen here for this module, which is the mortgage template or the mortgage calculator, it shows you this and this little thing, this bar chart is just that. And if I give it a click, the great thing, one of the great things about Numbers I think you'll find is that if I have built a chart and I've selected data from the chart, it gives me drag and drop functionality as far as choosing different numbers. So if I want a chart of what a $450,000 loan is going to look like at different interest rates as you can see here, this is exactly what it does and by the way, this is so simple to use. You could figure out how to do this, generate a new loan payment for yourself. Of course, keep in mind you might qualify or not qualify, but here you can see you just punch in the numbers and then it will do the calculations for you. Plus, if you want to take a quick look at where that data comes from, again your mouse pointer, if it's that black arrow that you see here, you can click and drag and compare the difference between, graphically compare the difference between a $400,000 loan amount financed at six percent versus five percent, versus financing $500,000 at five and six and six and a half percent. So these charts, again, we will build them. We can build them with a drop-down here. We can also select a chart and change the properties of the chart very easily and we get into this in more detail. But again, remember that the inspector is there, just like the inspector is there when you're dealing with a slide in Keynote in the slide inspector or the document inspector. Here we are looking at the chart inspector, so if we have a chart selected and click on inspector, it should bring up this chart inspector. If not, click on this middle button right here called chart inspector. And if I want to change very quickly the type of chart, maybe a 3-D look to my chart and maybe change the chart colors, again, this inspector makes it very easy to do so. Just do brown and then apply and then close, close until you get a feel for what is available as you build your charts. But, of course, the charts aren't going to do much good unless the tables are first built and so that we can start to give them some flesh and, and make pictures out of our numbers.
