Setting Colors for Charts

You can set custom colors for charts, allowing you to more easily view and analyze the information in them. Using the Chart Options dialog, you can add multiple rows, assigning different colors to each. When a chart is displayed, the first data item uses the color of the first row, the second item uses the color of the second row, and so on. If you have more items in the chart than you have custom colors, the default color will be used on later items after the custom colors have all been designated.

The Chart Options dialog opens.
