Abstract:
Systems and methods for charting images and/or attributes of images associated with a spreadsheet are provided. For instance, when an image is associated with a spreadsheet, the image may be treated as a new type of data within the spreadsheet. In some aspects, a plurality of images may be associated with a spreadsheet, e.g., within a single cell or within a range of cells. In some aspects, the images themselves, as well as image data (e.g., pixelated data, etc.), image attributes (e.g., opacity, color palette, resolution, aspect ratio, image dimensions, author, creation date and/or time, file name, tags, file size, GPS location information, etc.), and/or spreadsheet data (e.g., values in cells, user comments, etc.) may be incorporated into a report (e.g., a chart) using a spreadsheet charting function, either automatically or by user selection.
