How to draw a Gaussian Curve with LibreOffice Draw?


I would like to draw a Gaussian curve as a vector graphic in LibreOffice Draw. With the "Curve" functions I was only able to get something parabola-like. Has anyone got an idea of how to do the Gaussian?

Thank you in advance!


Solution

  • A Gaussian curve is basically a normal distribution aka a bell curve.

    This is sort of a hack.

    In libre office calc

    Add the following data in a column.

    1 2 4 5 4 2 1

    Then insert->chart->line From the Dialogue box **Select line AND line only AND smooth line ** Select line AND line only AND smooth line

    You should end up with a chart that looks like this. Gaussian curve / Bell curve / Normal distribution

    In libreoffice calc double click on the chart bell curve then right click on the bell curve LINE

    Libreoffice calc bell curve grab

    Then from the menu (right click menu) select copy

    Open Libreoffice draw and then paste.

    You should have something like this.

    You can make your own spin.

    I hope this helps
