Steps to apply a transparency effect to a graph object
You can apply a transparency effect to several objects on a graph report, including the graph risers, markers, frame, and legend. The slider uses a range of zero to 100. A value of zero means the object is not transparent and thus appears as a solid object. Higher values make the object more transparent, which allows you to see objects behind the transparent object.
To apply a transparency effect to a graph object
-
Open a report. (How?)
-
If the report is not already in Graph view, from the View menu, select GraphView to display the report as a graph.
-
Right-click a graph object such as a riser, marker, graph frame, legend, and so on, and select Formatname of object from the right-click menu. This option is named differently, depending on the object you select. For example, for a line in a line graph, this option is named Format Data Marker. The Preferences dialog box opens.
-
Click the Fill category. For information on the different options on this category and how you can modify the line of an object, see Fill formatting for graph objects.
-
Adjust the transparency of the object using the Transparency slider. Click and drag the scrolling bar until you reach the desired color transparency. As you scroll, a number value for the transparency is displayed on the right. When you set the transparency to a low number (by dragging the bar to the left), the color(s) of the object appear brighter and more solid. When you set the transparency to a higher number (by dragging the bar to the right), the color(s) of the object appear faded and less solid.
-
Click OK to apply the transparency effect to the currently selected object and return to the graph.
