Creating Charts

129

 Depending on the type of chart, the attributes that may change when you change a

chart’s type are as follows: show value label, value label position, text style, series

stroke, series shadow, series fill, data point symbol, and data point fill.

 Bar/column charts and stacked bar/column charts share attributes except for value

label position. Also, bar/column charts have separate fills.

 3D chart shadows are shared across chart types.

When you change a chart’s type and the new type has some of the same attributes,

those attributes don’t change. Shared attributes include axes, gridlines, tick marks, axis

labels, show minimum value, number format, borders, rotation, shadows, and 3D

lighting style.

You’ll learn more about these attributes throughout the remainder of this chapter.
