Change the orientation of a chart



Change the orientation of a chart

To change the orientation of a bar line, area, point, bubble, linear gauge, or box and whiskers chart through the External Style Sheet and Inline Style Sheet editors:

1. Under Chart style, select Chart orientation, and then find the Orientation group of settings on the right-hand area.
2. Select either Horizontal or Vertical.

Note: In a horizontal bar line, area, point, bubble, or box and whiskers chart, the horizontal axis is the Y-axis and the vertical axis is the X-axis. In a vertical one, the converse applies. In a horizontal linear gauge chart, the axis is parallel to the top and bottom edges of the chart. In a vertical one, the axis stands straight up, or in other words, it is parallel to the left and right edges of the chart.

To rearrange the data in a table chart from columns to rows and vice versa through the External Style Sheet and Inline Style Sheet editors:

1. Under Chart style, select Chart orientation, and then find the Orientation group of settings on the right-hand area.
2. To keep the original arrangement of the data, select Normal.
3. To rearrange the data from columns to rows and vice versa, select Columns to rows.
