I get this question a lot -- Windows refugees often want artifacts similar to ones they produced using MS Excel. Well-supported graphics packages have galleries of sample artifacts you can view online. If there are examples in publications or web sites that you like, ask the authors how they were produced. You may want to post in a LibreOffice forum to see if there is a way to do something similar in LibreOffice -- if not maybe it will generate a feature request. I often generate a basic artifact with python or R and tweak it with Inkscape or Krita 4 where I get more direct control of details. -- George N. White III
