Interactive bar chart

Although you can make modifications to interactive charts similar to modification to standard charts, editing interactive graphics is designed to be more direct and simpler.

step Double-click the chart to activate it.

Interactive charts are activated and edited in-place in the Viewer window (unlike standard charts, which open in a separate window for editing).

To change the color of a bar, usually all you have to do is click a bar to select it, and then select another color from the Fill Color palette on the vertical toolbar. But in this clustered bar example, colors are associated with pairs of bars, and so you change the color by selecting the bar category in the legend.

step Click the color square next to the $25 - $49 category in the legend.

step Click the down-arrow next to the Fill Color icon on the vertical toolbar, and select a new color.

The color is applied to the two bars that represent the $25 - $49 category.

In this example, the key text below the legend is unnecessary since the the scale axis is already labeled Counts. To delete the key text:

step Right-click on the text and select Hide key from the pop-up context menu.

The key text is now hidden.
