Adjusting Scene Settings for 3D Charts
For 3D charts, you can change the viewing angle and the lighting angle of the chart.
To adjust 3D scene settings:
1
Select a 3D chart, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Chart button, and then
click Chart.
2
To change the chart’s viewing angle, drag an arrowhead in the blue arrow button until
you’ve situated the chart the way you want.
3
To change the lighting angle and intensity, select an option from the Lighting Style
pop-up menu that creates the look you want.
4
To change the depth of the chart elements, drag the Chart Depth slider. Dragging to
the right makes the chart elements appear to stretch out toward the viewer. If you
create a very deep chart, you may have to resize the chart to fit it on the page.
5
To enhance the edges on a 3D pie chart, select Show Bevel Edges.
To learn about other formatting options, see “Formatting Charts” on page 228.
