Chart Properties Pane
The Chart Properties Pane is used to change the properties of the chart after the chart is created. Similar properties can be set before chart creation in the Create Chart from Table Data dialog. As with all docking panes, this pane can be shrunk to a tab on the window border, pinned open, closed, etc. (see the Pane Button on the Main Toolbar). The example below shows the original chart (top) and the chart modified using settings in the Chart Properties Pane.
The Chart Properties Pane is opened from the Chart Command Menu.
