Connect Data Points draws lines that connect the data points and makes it easier to see
•
relationships between data.

•
the horizontal (x) axis.
Draw Filled Lines becomes available when you select Connect Data Points. Draw Filled
•
Lines creates a wider line according to the value you enter in the Line Width text box,
and it fills the line with paint according to the specifications for that series of data.
Selecting scatter graph options
The graph type options for scatter graphs are the same as those for line graphs, except
that the Edge-to-Edge Lines option is not available. The default options for scatter graphs
are Mark Data Points and Connect Data Points.
Selecting pie graph options
The following legend options let you choose how to display legends with pie graphs:
Standard Legend places column labels outside the graph; this is the default. Use this
•
option when you combine pie graphs with other kinds of graphs.
Legends in Wedges inserts labels into the corresponding wedges.
•
No Legend omits legends entirely.
•
Percentages and legends are painted black by default. If a pie wedge with a dark
background obscures a legend, repaint the dark background. Use the group-selection tool
to select the dark pie wedges, and paint the wedges using the Color palette or Swatches
palette.
The following position options let you choose how to display multiple pie graphs:
Ratio sizes the graphs proportionally.
•
Even makes all the pie graphs the same diameter.
•
Stacked stacks each pie graph on top of the other, and each graph is sized
•
proportionally.
The following sort options let you choose which element is displayed first, proceeding
clockwise from the top of the pie graph:
All sorts the wedges of the selected pie graph from largest to smallest value.
•
First sorts the wedges of the selected pie graphs so that the largest value in the first
•
graph will be placed in the first wedge, and the rest will sort from largest to smallest.
All other graphs will follow the order of the wedges in the first graph.
None sorts the wedges of the selected pie graphs in the order in which you entered
•
values.
Selecting radar graph options
The graph type options for radar graphs are the same as those for line graphs. The default
options for radar graphs are Mark Data Points and Connect Data Points.
