Changing the Appearance settings of a graph
This procedure explains how to show or hide a graph's legend and gridlines and how to change its background colour. It also explains how to change the scale of the Y-axis.
To change the Appearance settings of a graph:
- Follow steps 1 and 2 of Changing the Titles of a graph .
- Click on the Appearance tab.
- If you want to display a legend (or key) for the data series on your graph, check the 'Show legend' box and select one of the placement options below: Left, Right, Top, Bottom.
- To display gridlines along the graph’s axes, check 'X-axis', 'Y-axis' or both options.
- To display a logarithmic scale along the Y-axis, check Logarithmic scale. This will create a scale that increases in logarithmic intervals, which can be useful when plotting data that increases rapidly or exponentially.
