Title
|
An optional title for the graph. The title
appears at the top of the graph.
|
|
Value axis
|
The axis of the graph along which the values of
the dependent variable(s) are plotted. In a column graph, as
shown in the preceding graph, the Value axis corresponds to
the y axis in an XY presentation. In other types of graphs,
such as a bar graph, the Value axis can be along the x
dimension.
|
|
Category axis
|
The axis along which are plotted the major
divisions of the data, representing the independent
variable(s). In the preceding graph, the Category axis
corresponds to the x axis. It plots four categories: Q1, Q2,
Q3, and Q4. These form the major divisions of data in the
graph.
|
|
Series
|
A set of data points. There are three series in
the preceding graph: Stellar, Cosmic, and Galactic. In bar
and column charts, each series is represented by bars or
columns of one color or pattern.
|
|
Series axis
|
The axis along which the series are plotted in
three-dimensional (3D) graphs.
|
|
Legend
|
An optional listing of the series. The
preceding graph contains a legend that shows how each series
is represented in the graph.
