Adding pictographs to charts

Pictographs represent data visually, according to the type data shown. For

example, instead of a simple bar to represent a dollar amount, you can add a

pictograph of a dollar sign or stack of coins.

To create a pictograph:

1 Select and copy the FreeHand graphic you’d like to use.

2 Use the Subselect tool to select a column in the series to which you’ll apply

the pictograph.

3 Choose Xtras > Chart > Pictograph.

4 In the Pictograph dialog box, click Paste In to display the copied object in the

preview window.

5 To copy the selection in the Paste In window to the Clipboard, click Copy Out.

6 Choose how to ﬁll the columns:

• Select Repeating to ﬁll the columns with repeating copies of the object. Partial

objects are used to represent incremental values.

• Deselect Repeating to ﬁll the column with one scaled object.

7 Click OK.

To remove a pictograph from your chart:

Select the column from which you want to remove the pictograph and choose

Xtras > Chart > Remove Pictograph.
