Selecting graph options
Here are additional options that are available, depending on the graph type selected.
Note: Area graphs have no unique options.
To select graph type options:
1 If you want to change an existing graph, select the entire graph.
2 Choose Object > Graph > Type, or double-click the graph tool.
3 Choose Graph Options from the pop-up menu at the top left of the Graph Type
dialog box.
4 Select options for the selected graph type, as described in the following sections.
Selecting column and stacked column options
Column Width and Cluster Width values can range from 1% to 1000%. These values allow
space between columns and between clusters. A value of 100% moves both columns and
clusters flush against each other. A value above 100% causes the columns and clusters to
overlap one another.
Column and stacked column graph options are the same. They include the following:
Column Width, by default, is 90%.
•
Cluster Width is the total width of all columns in a cluster. A cluster is a group of columns
•
corresponding to a row of data in the work sheet. The default cluster width is 80%.
If you are using stacked column graphs exclusively, it is recommended that you set the
cluster width to 100% and use only the Column Width option to adjust the width.
Selecting bar and stacked bar options
Bar Width and Cluster Width values can range from 1% to 1000%. These values allow space
between bars and between clusters. A value of 100% moves both bars and clusters flush
against each other. A value above 100% causes the bars and clusters to overlap one
another.
Bar and stacked bar graph options are the same. They include the following:
Bar Width, by default, is 90%.
•
Cluster Width is the total width of all bars in a cluster. A cluster is a group of bars that
•
correspond to a row of data in the work sheet. The default cluster width is 80%. If you
are using stacked bar graphs exclusively, it is recommended that you set the cluster
width to 100% and use only the Bar Width option to adjust the width.
