Apple Keynote '09 - Manual (Page 146)

To add or hide an axis title:
1 Choose Show Title from the Choose Axis Options pop-up menu below Category Axis
or Value Axis.
2 Select title text that appears and type the title you want.
3 To format the title’s text attributes, see “Creating Outlined Text” on page 52.
4 To hide the title, deselect the option in the same pop-up menu.
To set a linear, logarithmic, or percentage scale for the value axis:
Choose Linear Scale, Log Scale, or Percentage Scale from the Choose Axis Options pop-
m
up menu below Value Axis.
Percentage scales are available only for 2D stacked bar, column, and area charts;
linear and logarithmic scales are available only for 2D charts that aren’t stacked. 3D
charts can only use a linear scale. (For pie charts, you display values as percentages by
choosing Show Pie Values as Percentages from the Data Point Settings pop-up menu.)
To change the color and texture of series elements, or to format data point symbols
and value labels, use the Series pane of the Chart inspector. See “Formatting the
Elements in a Chart’s Data Series.”
For formatting options that are unique to a given chart type (for example, the spacing
between bars, for bar charts, or the spacing between wedges, for pie charts), see the
sections specific to those chart types.
You can also show error bars and trendlines on most chart types. See “Showing Error
Bars in Charts” on page 148 and “Showing Trendlines in Charts” on page 149.
Formatting the Elements in a Chart’s Data Series
To make changes to series elements, first select an element in the series you
want to change. Most changes are made using the controls in the Series pane of the
Chart inspector.
To fill selected series elements with specially designed colors or textures:
1 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Chart inspector button, and then click
Chart Colors.
2 Choose a fill type (for example, 3D Texture Fills) from the first pop-up menu.
3 Choose a fill collection (for example, Marble or Wood) from the second pop-up menu.
4 Do one of the following:
To fill all the elements in all the data series, click Apply All. The first fill is applied to Â
elements in the first series, the second fill to elements in the second series, and so on.
To fill elements in a single data series, drag the fill to an element (bar, column, and
Â
so on) in the series.
