1
00:00:00,530 --> 00:00:03,460
In the chart and
plot areas section of this stage,

2
00:00:03,460 --> 00:00:08,360
we showed how to change fill and
border colors, or make them transparent.

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,540
You can change different data series
fill color as well, and their borders.

4
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:14,720
Let's play around a bit with this.

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,724
So I'm gonna select the series 6.

6
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:24,740
And I wanna right-click it, and
I'm going to say Format Data Series.

7
00:00:24,740 --> 00:00:27,744
You might have also
noticed if I right-click,

8
00:00:27,744 --> 00:00:31,659
I can very quickly change
the fill here to, let's say, red.

9
00:00:33,410 --> 00:00:35,706
Ctrl+Z to undo that.

10
00:00:35,706 --> 00:00:38,810
You can also change the outline,
let's make it black.

11
00:00:40,460 --> 00:00:42,840
And you see now that
there's a black border.

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,508
But you can also do it by right-clicking
and going down to the Format Data Series,

13
00:00:49,508 --> 00:00:51,473
which we have here on the right.

14
00:00:53,374 --> 00:00:57,706
And you can do gradients,
you can put picture or texture fill,

15
00:00:57,706 --> 00:01:01,240
there's a lot of different options.

16
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,030
How about we go back to our golfing
friends, the seven dwarves?

17
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:07,008
Let's make this data series black.

18
00:01:10,693 --> 00:01:14,000
And I wanna make it clear
who got the best score.

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,100
So I'm gonna make that green.

20
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:21,050
So here I've selected a whole data series,
but if I click again on this one

21
00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:26,200
data point, I can format just
this piece of information.

22
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:31,720
So you can see by selecting one data point
in a data series, you can highlight and

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,390
communicate more.

24
00:01:33,390 --> 00:01:35,750
You can also make data series transparent.

25
00:01:35,750 --> 00:01:39,240
I do this sometimes with white fills,
where I make the fill white and

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,090
then the outline black.

27
00:01:41,090 --> 00:01:42,242
So let's take a look at that.

28
00:01:44,996 --> 00:01:47,968
I'm going to do No Fill here.

29
00:01:51,327 --> 00:01:53,430
And then I'm gonna make the outline black.

30
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:58,710
But I didn't wanna do it for
just that data point.

31
00:01:58,710 --> 00:02:00,846
I wanted to do it for
the whole data series.

32
00:02:00,846 --> 00:02:06,450
So Fill > No Fill > Outline > Black.

33
00:02:06,450 --> 00:02:10,650
Again, you can also make the border
line different widths, and dash or

34
00:02:10,650 --> 00:02:11,630
compound styles.

35
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:19,390
So I'm gonna select the whole data series,
right-click, Format Data Series.

36
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:23,580
Go over here on the left
to the bucket section.

37
00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:26,053
The border, solid line.

38
00:02:26,053 --> 00:02:29,630
And I can do this, so

39
00:02:29,630 --> 00:02:34,270
it's a dash or two lines.

40
00:02:34,270 --> 00:02:35,840
It's really up to you.

41
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,385
But remember, don't go too crazy,
you wanna communicate the point

42
00:02:39,385 --> 00:02:43,552
you're trying to make, not create
something beautiful that confuses people.
