Using the Chart tool, you can create charts to visually display numeric data. You
create a chart by entering data and choosing display options. You can later edit the
data and change the display options to update the chart.
A FreeHand chart is a grouped series of objects that acts much like any other
group—you can enlarge, scale, rotate, and move it, and you can also edit
individual chart elements. Once you ungroup a chart, however, it becomes a
graphic and you can no longer edit the data, even if you regroup the chart.
Pictographs are graphics that replace the standard chart bars or lines with an
image. For example, you can represent a monetary value with a stack of coins or a
dairy value with a stack of cows.
Charts are created in grayscale. You can color them using various techniques.
