Hello
I'd like to use LO to redraw graphs scanned from a book, such at this
one:

Is there a simple way in LO to do this, ideally without using maths
(unless
it's a no-brainer)?
You mean, that you do not have the underlying data?
In that case, you can use the scan directly.
Or in case the scan is too ugly, you have to read the scan and enter the
coordinates as data in the table. From the image I guess, that five
points are sufficient. You need an XY-chart, because otherwise the years
are not at the ticks but between the ticks.
Generate the chart in Calc. Uncheck the option to use "Source Format" in
the Numbers tab of the axis properties dialog. That makes it easier to
copy&paste the chart to Writer.
Yes, you can redraw the graph, but you might learn a little bit about
making a chart.
Kind regards
Regina
Can I also point out that LO isn't necessarily the correct tool? I've
lately discovered the joys of gnuplot -- more flexible than LO, and an
image created by it could of course be imported into an LO document.
As others have pointed out, beware copyright of the data.
