Ideally, LibreOffice would ask you what DPI and resolution you want once you select the TIFF format and would then export the chart in that resolution and you’d be done in one simple step. tif file, but the resolution will be basically the same as what you see on your screen, like this: When you do this, you’ll get this pop-up window asking where you want to save the image and, more importantly, the format: The LibreOffice programmers make it so you can just right-click on the graph and select “Export as Image.” Here’s a chart I created in LibreOffice Calc: LibreOffice CalcĪssuming you have created your chart/graph in LibreOffice Calc, exporting it into a TIF format should be fairly easy, though it requires an unfortunate extra step. Luckily, LibreOffice works extremely well with these formats (for the most part), which makes this quite easy. Since I did finally figure this out, I figured I’d post it here so I remember how to do this in the future.
Since scholars often make charts and graphs in Word, it took a little finagling to come up with a quick and easy way to export the images in the format needed by the publisher. As the editor, I had to make sure the final images met the criteria detailed above. I have recently been editing several volumes in which I had to manage the charts and graphs of other scholars as well.
I make most of my charts in LibreOffice Calc, though occasionally I make some in R as well. Most often, the format is as a TIFF/TIF file, typically with at least 300 dpi and somewhere around 1500×1500 pixels. As a scholar who regularly publishes work with charts and graphs, I’m often confronted with varied requirements from publishers for the format in which they want the charts and graphs.
