To adjust the 3D characteristics of a graph that is part of Windows
If you haven't already read the Graphs Overview, see Using advanced graph tools for more information.
Click the Rotate button, shown to the left, on the graph toolbar to open the 3D View Properties window. A few of the features of the window are:
- Remove the mark in the 3D field to change the view to a two-dimensional view.
- Mark the Full 3D View box if you want to set your own perspective of the three dimensional graph. When you mark this selection the X Angle and the Y Angle fields become active.
- You can adjust perspective by dragging the red and blue markers in the box on the left. (Mark the full 3D View box to make this area active.)
- Enter the angles of the perspective relative to the axis in the X Angle and Y Angle fields.
- Preview the graph in the box on the right.
- Increase the depth of the graph by dragging the slider under the preview window on the right.
To apply the changes, click Apply. To apply the changes and close the 3D View Properties window, click OK.
