Applying a 3D graph style

Based on your reporting needs, you can select the appearance of a 3D graph report by choosing from three-dimensional angle defaults from which the 3D graph can be viewed. In addition, you can specify the appearance of 3D settings such as for a 3D Riser graph and how the graph objects are formatted (bars, pyramids, and so on). This allows you to tailor your report to your specific requirements.

To apply a 3D graph style to a graph report

  1. Open a report. (How?)

  2. If the report is not already in Graph view, from the View menu, select GraphView to display the report as a graph.

  3. From the Gallery menu, point to a 3D graph type, and select a 3D graph style. Your selection is immediately displayed in the graph. The available 3D graph types and styles include:

    • 3D Risers: This 3D graph type allows you to use three-dimensional versions of Bar graph formatting. These differ from 3D Floating by displaying graph styles that are connected to the floor of the three-dimensional graph. For information on defining the options for a Bar graph, see Graph options for a Bar graph. The 3D Risers graph styles include:

      • Bars

      • Pyramids

      • Octagons

      • Cut-Corner Bars

    • 3D Floating: This 3D graph type allows you to use three-dimensional versions of Bar graph formatting. These differ from 3D Risers by displaying graph styles that float above the floor of the three-dimensional graph. For information on defining the options for a Bar graph, see Graph options for a Bar graph. The 3D Floating graph styles include:

      • Cubes

      • Spheres

    • 3D Connect Group:This 3D graph type allows you to use three-dimensional versions of Area, Line, or Bar graph formatting. These differ from 3D Connect Series by displaying risers for each category on the category axis. The 3D Connect Group graph styles include:

      • Areas: This 3D graph type allows you to use three-dimensional versions of Area graph formatting. For information on defining the options for an Area graph, see Graph options for an Area graph.

      • Ribbons: This 3D graph type allows you to use three-dimensional versions of Line graph formatting. For information on defining the options for a Line graph, see Graph options for a Line graph.

      • Steps: This 3D graph type allows you to use three-dimensional versions of Bar graph formatting. For information on defining the options for a Bar graph, see Graph options for a Bar graph.

    • 3D Connect Series:

      • Areas: This 3D graph type allows you to use three-dimensional versions of Area graph formatting. For information on defining the options for an Area graph, see Graph options for an Area graph.

      • Ribbons: This 3D graph type allows you to use three-dimensional versions of Line graph formatting. For information on defining the options for a Line graph, see Graph options for a Line graph.

      • Steps: This 3D graph type allows you to use three-dimensional versions of Bar graph formatting. For information on defining the options for a Bar graph, see Graph options for a Bar graph.

    • 3D Surface: This 3D graph type allows you to use 3D Surface graph formatting. For information on defining the options for a 3D Surface graph, see Graph options for a 3D Surface graph. The 3D Surface graph styles include:

      • 3D Surface

      • 3D Surface with Sides

      • 3D Honeycomb Surface

    • 3D Scatter: This 3D graph type allows you to use three-dimensional versions of Scatter plot formatting. For information on defining the options for a Scatter plot, see Graph options for a Scatter plot. The 3D Scatter plot graph styles include:

      3D X-Y-Z Scatter
