Charting: Editing charts : part 2

In this tip, we see how to modify the attributes of the axes on an already created chart.



before you can modify the appearance of the x-axis of the chart, you need to make sure the chart is selected for editing ( a solid green border) Within the boundaries of the chart, select Axis - X-Axis as shown below. This opens the X-Axis dialog.

There are a number of available tabs. We wish to rotate the text on the axis, so we choose the Label tab.

Another useful tab is the Line tab, but we will not change any of the default properties here.

The final result (for now) I suggest that you experiment with all the available dialogs and tabs to become familar with the powerful chart editing capabilities offered by OOo Calc.
