the resultant drawings—take up?
You want enough space on your disk for spreadsheets, word processing,
and other programs _if_ you change your tasks often. But you don’t
change often? Then don’t worry as much about this.
Frugal use of space, of course, is one advantage of integrated
programs combining graphics with word processing and spreadsheets or
communications.
You might also worry about the lengths of the files. One chart can
take up the equivalent of page after page in disk space if you’re
storing the image of the chart rather than the instructions for
creating it.
