Formatting 3D Effects

You can display almost all charts in three dimensions. There are different options depending on the chart type.

• For column and bar charts, you can display the value ranges as rectangles, pyramids, cones, or cylinders.
• For pie and doughnut charts, you can set the angle of inclination and the height of the pie segments or rings.

1. Format the chart as a column or bar chart by choosing Global Settings → Chart Type → Columns or Bars or a variant thereof (see Changing the Chart Type ).
2. Choose Global Settings → Dimension → PseudoThree or Three.
3. Choose the required entry under <chart type> → BlockStyle.
   Note

   Pyramid and cone value ranges are displayed as rectangles in 2D charts.

1. Format the chart as a pie or doughnut chart by choosing Global Settings → Chart Type → Pie or Doughnut or Split Pie (see Changing the Chart Type ).
2. Choose Global Settings → Dimension → PseudoThree or Three.
3. Enter the required angle of inclination into the property <chart type> → 3D Ration. 0 gives the most angled view, 10 gives a side view.

You set the height of a pie or doughnut chart by entering the required value in pixels into the property <chart type> → 3D Thickness.
