Type tab

The Type tab offers a choice of eleven different chart types to insert in a report. Click the button of the type of chart you want, and the program begins the construction of a chart of that type which you can further customize.

Automatically set chart options

Select this check box to have the Chart Expert use the default options on the Axes and Options tabs. If you want to customize some of the chart's properties—such as the scaling of the axes, the legend, and the data points—ensure that this check box is not selected.

Note:    The following settings have default values when "Automatically set chart options" is selected:

Chart Type

Use the Chart Type list to select the chart type you want to use. Once a chart type is selected, you can use the buttons to the right of the list to select the chart type format to use for the chart. For example, if you select the Pie Chart as the chart type, you can then select from among the following formats: Regular pie, Regular pie with 3D visual effect, Multiple pies, and Multiple proportional pies.

Vertical/Horizontal

Use the Vertical and Horizontal option buttons to specify whether the chart is to represent increasing values in a vertical or a horizontal direction. For example, if you create a Vertical bar chart, the bars will rise upward from the bottom of the chart. If you create a Horizontal bar chart, the bars will rise from left to right, from the side of the chart (by default).

These options are only available for the Bar, Line, and Area chart types.
