114 Chapter 6 Using Charts
Showing Series Names in a Pie Chart
On pie charts, you can display series names.
To show series names in a pie chart:
1 Select the chart or individual pie wedges.
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Chart Inspector button, and then click Series.
3 Choose Show Series Name from the Data Point Label pop-up menu.
4 Choose Inside or Outside from the Data Point Label pop-up menu.
Separating Individual Pie Wedges
To make pie wedges more visually prominent, you can separate them from the pie. You
can add a series name to separated wedges to further enhance their prominence, as
“Showing Data Point Labels” on page 109 describes.
Here are ways to separate individual pie wedges:
m To move a single wedge away from the center of a 2D or 3D pie chart, select it and
then drag it or use the Explode control on the Series pane of the Chart Inspector.
m To separate all the wedges away from the center of a 3D pie chart, select the chart
before using the Explode control.
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 156 for instructions.
Set a pie wedge apart by
using the Explode slider and
giving it a series name.
