Changing Pie Chart Colors and Textures

To change chart colors and textures:

To fill series elements with specially designed colors or textures, click Inspector in

the toolbar, click the Chart inspector button, and then click Chart Colors. Choose a
fill type (for example, 3D Texture Fills) from the first pop-up menu, and choose a fill
collection (for example, Marble or Wood) from the second pop-up menu. Then do one
of the following:
To fill all the wedges, click Apply All. The first fill is applied to elements in the first series,
the second fill to elements in the second series, and so on.
To fill a single wedge, drag the fill to the wedge.

To adjust the opacity, stroke, shadow, and other graphical attributes of individual pie

wedges, select the wedge you want to change, click the Graphic inspector button, and
then make the adjustments you want.

When adjusting the opacity and fill, note that dragging the Opacity slider at the

bottom of the Graphic inspector changes the opacity of the chart as a whole.
To affect only a selected series, select it, and then adjust the opacity of the color
fill, gradient fill, or tinted image fill, as needed. For more details, see “Adjusting
Opacity” on page 99 and “Filling an Object with a Solid Color” on page 100.

series name.

Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Chart inspector button.
