<p class="Head3">Is there a way of displaying bars in the form of graphics/textures when creating charts?</p>
<ol class="L1">
<li class="">
<p class="P2">You assign a bitmap to a bar type (instead of, say, a full color).</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2">You switch to edit mode by double-clicking on the chart.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2">Double-click on the corresponding bar (all bars of this color are now selected).</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2">In the context menu select the <span class="T1">Object Properties</span> entry then the <span class="T1">Area</span> tab page.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2">Click on <span class="T1">Bitmap</span>. You can now select a bitmap in the list box as texture for this bar. By clicking on <span class="T1">OK</span> you accept the setting.</p>
