To change the properties of a
graph element such as a
bar chart, you must first select the graph element. Similarly, to change the properties of
a legend or an axis, you must first select the component.
When you select a component in a graph object, the selected component is highlighted.
The component is also displayed in the
drop-down list at the top of the
Properties tab. The available
properties vary depending on the selected component.
The following display shows a highlighted bar chart. The Properties tab
displays the properties for the bar chart, which is identified as Bar
Chart 1.
Tip
You can click
beside the drop-down list on the
Properties
tab, and then select the component that you want to modify.
Here are some suggestions
for selecting graph elements:
-
-
To select the entire graph object, click above the graph element or cell area.
-
To select a cell in a multi-cell graph object, click the background area just above
the graph element. The cell is highlighted, and a tab appears in the upper left corner
of the cell.
From the cell’s tab, you can delete and reorder
graph elements. You can move graph elements to other cells.
In a multi-cell graph
object, cells are identified by a combination of a letter and a number,
such as A1, B1, A2, and so on. The letters identify columns and the
numbers identify rows. The following table represents the labeling
for a multi-cell graph object that contains three columns and three
rows:
A1
|
B1
|
C1
|
A2
|
B2
|
C2
|
A3
|
B3
