Changing the Body of a Chart
When you add labels, a legend, or annotations to a chart, you change the periphery of the chart, but you don’t affect how the data is displayed. If you do want to change how the data is displayed in the body of the chart, such as by showing or hiding grid lines or changing the scale of the chart, you can do so. Adding grid lines can help viewers make fine distinctions between values, even if they’re viewing the chart from the other end of a conference table, while changing the scale of the chart lets you heighten or downplay the differences among the chart’s values.
