Chapter 9 Creating Charts 155
The illustration below shows the same data, but with the data sets and data series
transposed.
For this chart, the data series are represented by columns in the Chart Data Editor
pictured earlier. There are now four data series represented as four different-colored
bars.
Data series are represented differently in the different kinds of charts provided by
Pages.
 In column charts and bar charts, a data series is represented by a series of bars in
the same color (as shown above).
 In a line chart (also called a graph), a data series is represented by a single line.
 In an area chart, a data series is represented by an area shape.
 In a pie chart, only a single data set—the first data point in each series—is
represented on the chart (whichever is listed first in the Chart Data Editor).
This button makes the rows
of data in the Chart Data
Editor the data series.
This button makes the
columns of data in the Chart
Data Editor the data series.
These two bars represent
one data series.
The data sets contain
one data point (one bar)
from each of the four
data series.
