Scatter Charts
Scatter charts display data differently than the other kinds of charts. They require at
least two columns or rows of data to plot values for a single data series. To show
multiple data series, you use additional two-column or two-row pairs.
Each pair of values determines the position of one data point. The first data value in the
pair is the X-axis of the point. The second data value is the Y-axis of the point.
Here are ways to work with a scatter chart:
m To format a symbol for a data series, see “Formatting the Elements in a Data Series on
page 155.
m To specify axis settings, use the Axis pane of the Chart Inspector. Because both axes of
scatter charts have values, value axis format settings apply to both X-axis and Y-axis.
Each axis can have its own number format. See “Formatting the Value Axis on page 153
for instructions.
3D Charts
All the chart types except scatter charts can be displayed as 3D charts.
Here are 2D and 3D versions of a pie chart.
