You can access general graph options by selecting the graph with the Selection tool and double-clicking the graph tool in the Tools panel.

Value Axis

Determines where the value axis (the axis that displays the unit of measurement) appears.

Add Drop Shadow

Applies drop shadows behind the columns, bars, or lines in a graph, and to entire pie graphs.

Add Legend Across Top

Displays the legend horizontally across the top of the graph instead of to the right of the graph.

First Row In Front

Controls how the categories, or clusters, of data in a graph overlap when the Cluster Width is greater than 100%. This option is the most useful when working with column and bar graphs.

First Column In Front

Places the column, bar, or line that corresponds to the first column of data in the Graph Data window on top. This option also determines which column is on top for column and stacked column graphs with a Column Width greater than 100% and for bar and stacked bar graphs with a Bar Width greater than 100%.

Mark Data Points

Places square markers at each data point.

Connect Data Points

Draws lines that make it easier to see relationships among data.

Edge‑to‑Edge Lines

Draws lines that extend across the graph, from left to right along the horizontal (x) axis. This option is not available for scatter graphs.

Draw Filled Lines

Creates a wider line according to the value you enter in the Line Width text box, and which fills the line with paint according to the specifications for that series of data. This option becomes available when you select Connect Data Points.
