158 Chapter 8 Using Charts
Adding Shadows to Pie Charts and Wedges
You can put shadows on individual pie wedges or on the pie as a whole. Putting
shadows on individual wedges makes it look as if the wedges are on different layers.
When you add a shadow to a pie wedge, it’s a good idea to separate it first. See
“Separating Individual Pie Wedges,” earlier in this section, for instructions.
To add shadows:
1 Select the chart or individual pie wedges.
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Chart Inspector button, and then click Series.
3 To add shadows to wedges, choose Individual from the Shadow pop-up menu.
To add shadows to the chart as a whole, choose Group from the Shadow pop-up
menu.
4 To set shadow attributes, use the Graphic Inspector. See “Adding Shadows” on page 76
for instructions.
Adjusting the Opacity of Pie Charts
You can change the opacity of the chart and individual chart elements, such as the
legend. See “Adjusting Opacity” on page 77 for more information.
Rotating 2D Pie Charts
You can use various techniques for rotating a 2D pie chart.
Here are ways to rotate a pie chart:
m Select the chart, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Chart Inspector button, click
Series, and then use the Rotation Angle wheel or field.
m Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Metrics Inspector button, and then drag the
Rotate wheel or use the Angle controls to set the angle of the chart.
m Select the chart, hold down the Command key and move the pointer toward an active
selection handle until it changes to a curved, double-headed arrow, and then drag a
selection handle.
m To rotate the chart in 45-degree increments, press the Shift and Command keys while
dragging a selection handle or Rotate wheel.
