Charts/Inflation/ReadMe
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Overlays are mixed charts and they are usually a mixture of bar and line charts. In this case the bars represent unemployment figures and the line the inflation rate. Notice that the two series each have their own axes. Put the chart into an editing window by selecting Edit Chart from the Charts menu. Then type the real numbers in the relevant slots. Try changing one of the inflation figures to 12%PC%. To do this just enter 12 into one of the slots; don't type the %PC%. Watch the chart change and notice the inflation label change. See if you can work out from the spreadsheet how this has been created from the chart. %CO:B,12,60% %CO:C,12,48% %CO:D,12,36% %CO:E,12,24% %CO:F,12,12%
