--- The
menu item allows the user to
inset a worksheet immediately following the current sheet.
--- The
menu item will insert rows
above the current selection. The number of rows inserted will
be equal to the number of rows spanned by the current selection.
--- The
menu item will insert columns
to the left of the current selection. The number of columns
inserted will equal the number of columns spanned by the current
selection.
--- The
menu item opens a dialog
asking the user how the sheet should be altered when new cells are
inserted. The dialog lists four choices. The user can choose one
of these by clicking the mouse pointer on one of the four dots.
Only one choice is possible and the currently selected choice has
a black dot in front.
The Shift cells right will insert a region of new
cells of the size of the current selection. Cells which are on the same row as
the selection and within or to the right of the selection will
shift over to the right to accomodate the new cells. The
Shift cells down choice will also insert a
region of new cells the same size as the current selection. With
this choice, cells which are in the selection or below the
selection will move down to accomodate the new cells. The two
other choices will act as if the user had chosen to insert rows
or columns. These actions are explained above.
--- The
menu item will allow a user to
insert a graphic plot of data. This menu item will launch the
graph druid. Graphing in Gnumeric is explained in
Chapter 17.
--- The
menu item launches a dialog
with the objects which Gnumeric is currently able to embed in a
worksheet. The user simply picks one of the objects in the list,
and then inserts the object into the worksheet. These objects are
not part of Gnumeric but are provided by other programs in the
GNOME project.
--- The
menu item allows user
to insert more complicated objects into a worksheet. This is
currently not used but will provide more extended functionality
for the future.
