Chart Series Properties
The Chart Series Properties dialog is used to modify the properties of different data series in the chart. A series is a group of points sharing the same properties. For example, a chart might be created for measurements of an image set in which the image name is used to group measurements for each image. The stratification of the measurement data into groups or "series" (in this example, by image name), is accomplished using the Group By option in the Create Chart from Table Data command. Initially, a different palette color is used to distinguish the series. After chart creation, the present command is then used to apply additional changes to individual chart series.
The Chart Series Properties dialog is opened from the Chart Command Menu.
The series properties grid in the right portion of the dialog lists the current properties for each chart series. To change any of these properties, follow these steps:
In the left column, check the box for each property to be set.
Under Specify Changes, make changes to the selected properties.
In the series properties grid, check the box (or boxes) of the target series where your changes are to be applied.
Commit changes by clicking the Apply Changes to Selected Series button.
Properties in the table below are located under the Specify Changes column in the dialog. A property change is enabled by checking its box in the column on the left side of the dialog.
