Setting Shadows, Spacing, and Series Names on Bar and Column Charts
On bar and column charts, you can adjust the distance between the sets of bars or
columns (data sets). On charts where the data sets aren’t stacked, you can also adjust
the distance between the bars or columns (individual data sets). You can also apply
shadows to individual data series or to the entire chart.
On bar and column charts that are not stacked, you can also opt to show the series
names, or Labels.
To customize bars and column charts:
1 Select a bar or column chart.
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Chart inspector button, and then click Chart.
3 To change the space between bars or categories, do one of the following:
To change the space between bars, type a value (or click the arrows) in the “Gap Â
between bars” field.
To change the space between categories (on unstacked charts), specify a value in
Â
the “Gap between sets” field.
The value is the percentage of the bar thickness. Decreasing the space between
the bars makes them thicker. You can also move the pointer near a bar edge until it
becomes a double-headed arrow, and then drag to make the bars thicker or thinner.
