Changing Plot Element Attributes

A plot element represents data points in bar, column, stacked bar, stacked column, area, and pie graphs. Plot element attributes you can change include border color, width, and style, and fill color and pattern.

Step 1
In a graph legend, double-click a plot element, or select a graph and choose Plot Element from the Graph Attributes submenu (Graph menu).

Step 2
In the upper-left corner of the Plot Element Attributes dialog, select the data series for which you want to change plot element attributes. (Plot elements selected in the graph window are highlighted.)

• Shift-click to select contiguous multiple series, or Command-click to select discontiguous series.

Step 3
Specify the plot element attributes you want to apply to the selected series.

Step 4
Click the Show button to preview your selections without exiting the dialog.

Step 5
Click OK to exit the dialog and apply your changes to the plot elements.
