Change a Graph's Background Color and Border

You can control whether the border around a graph is displayed. You can also change the color of the graph's background.

To change the background color and turn the border on or off:

Right-click the graph and select Graph Properties. The Graph Properties dialog box appears.
In the Background section, select a background color from the Color list box. For instructions, see Using the Color List Box.

Note: A value of Auto indicates that the color is derived from the current style. When you change the style, the background color changes accordingly. However, if you explicitly change the color, the color that you specify overrides any style that is applied to the graph.
Select or clear the Outline check box to turn the graph border on or off.
Click OK.
