Adding special effects to charts

Making a chart 3-dimensional

Adding a shadow

    You can add a shadow effect to any chart.

    To add a shadow to a chart:
    1 Select the chart and choose Chart Options from the Edit menu.
    Tip: You can also double-click the chart.
    2 If necessary, click Gallery.
    3 Select Shadow.

Plotting data horizontally

    By default, AppleWorks displays charts with the data divisions horizontally across the X axis and the data points plotted vertically up the Y axis. You can change this orientation so that the data points are plotted horizontally.

    You can plot data horizontally for all chart types except X-Y line and X-Y scatter charts. Plotting a pie chart horizontally arranges the pies from left to right instead of top to bottom.

    To plot data horizontally:
    1 Select the chart and choose Chart Options from the Edit menu.
    Tip: You can also double-click the chart.
    2 If necessary, click Gallery.
    3 Select Horizontal.
