Creating Charts

203

To select a chart type, do one of the following:
 Choose Format > Chart > [chart type].

 In the Chart Inspector, choose a chart from the pop-up menu that appears when

you click the chart icon in the upper left.

To change a chart from one type to another:

1

Select the chart.

2

In the Chart Inspector, choose a different chart type from the pop-up menu. You can

also choose Format > Chart > Chart Type > [chart type].

 If you switch to a pie chart, Pages charts only the first data set in the Chart Data

Editor. See “Pie Charts” on page 211.

 If you switch to a scatter chart, each point in the chart requires two values, so every

series uses two columns in the Chart Data Editor. See “Scatter Charts” on page 215.

 If you switch to a bar, column, area, or line chart, each series in the new chart

corresponds to a row in the Chart Data Editor.

 If you switch to a 3D version of a chart, the Chart Inspector provides controls for

managing object depth and lighting style. See “Using 3D Charts” on page 217.
