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
