Formatting Chart Data Series

If you want to further enhance a chart, you can insert a picture in a chart so that its image occupies a bar or column. You can use the Format Selection button to open the Format pane (New!) and change column and 3-D gap depth and width and shape (New!), including box, pyramid, cylinder, or cone. Fill options to format a chart data series with a solid, gradient, picture, or texture fill. In addition, you can also change a chart data series with a border color, border style, shadow, glow, soft edges, and 3-D formats, which include bevel, depth, contour, and surface styles.
