This month = The basics portion will be Homebrew by Don Ellis. This will be a general introduction to a package manager for Mac OS X machines. Homebrew is said to be a compelling alternative to MacPorts and Fink. The Homebrew core and all the formulae are written in Ruby, so it could be easy to add stuff. AND... Bill Odom returns with another dazzeling presentation of the neatest tricks with the Vim Editor! "Exploring Vim Editor's Visual Mode: Seeing Is Believing." "vi" stands for "visual," but it's Vim that lives up to the promise of the name. If you haven't taken advantage of Visual Mode, you're missing out on one of Vim's most powerful (and time-saving) enhancements over stock vi. This workshop will cover the essentials of Visual Mode, explain how it fits into the "vi way," and dive into some of its less-obvious, but incredibly useful, capabilities. ============================================================================== Thursday, May 12 ============================================================================== 10:00am WCORCC-WE - MS Word SIG Excel SIG Thu, May 12, 10am . 3pm Daniel Boone Branch Library West County Older Residents Computer Club http://wcorcc.tripod.com/ MS Word SIG - 10:00 AM MS Excel SIG - 1:00 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11:00am SCORCC-F Financial SIG Thu, May 12, 11am . 1pm Tesson Ferry Library Branch, 9920 Lin-Ferry Road, St. Louis, MO 63123 South County Older Residents Computer Club http://www.scorcc.org/ ** *Membership Fee Required* ** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12:00pm Gateway/400 Group "SQL" Thu, May 12, 12:00pm . 1:30pm 12031 Lackland Rd, St Louis, MO (map) VENUE: Spazio's in WestPort, at the Comfort Inn http://www.gateway400.org/ "SQL" Sheryl M.

They can be inserted into a table or matrix and their axis size automatically. They can also be used as stand-alone charts. Data bars represent the value i n a cell by the bar.s length. The scale of multiple bars in the same table or matrix enable easy visual comparisons between cells. State indicators are v isualized as a set of built-in icon sets to depict the status against a value, goal, or a trend. You can also create your own icon sets. Colors, icon, and size can change based on data. Please RSVP, so that we can have a count for the lunch order, by email to: events(a)datasig.org This meeting will also be broadcasted via Lync.
