Chart Area Properties Dialog Box, 3D Options

Select 3D Options on the Chart Area Properties dialog box to define the three-dimensional effects for the chart. For more information, see Applying 3D Effects to a Chart.

Options

  • Enable 3D
    Choose this option to display the chart with a three-dimensional effect.

  • Enable series clustering
    Choose this option to cluster series groups. When multiple series for bar or column charts are clustered, they are displayed along two distinct rows in the chart area. If series are not clustered, their corresponding data points are displayed adjacent to each other in one row. This option is applicable only to bar and column charts.

  • Chart area
    Select the chart area to which the three-dimensional effects will apply.

  • Rotation
    Rotates the chart horizontally.

  • Inclination
    Rotates the chart vertically.

  • Projection mode
    Determines the projection mode used for the chart area.

    • Oblique   An oblique projection is applied to the chart area.

    • Perspective  A perspective projection is applied to the chart area.

  • Wall thickness
    Use this slider to change the thickness of the edge of the chart.

  • Oblique
    Choose this option to apply an oblique projection to the chart.

  • Clustered
    Choose this option to cluster series groups. When multiple series for bar or column charts are clustered, they are displayed along two distinct rows in the chart area. If series are not clustered, their corresponding data points are displayed adjacent to each other in one row. This option is applicable only to bar and column charts.

  • Depth ratio
    Specify the depth of the data points, measured as a percentage of data point width. This value must be between 0 and 1000.

  • Gap depth
    Specify the distance between data series that are displayed along distinct rows, as a result of clustering.
