To assign different scales to the value axes
If your graph has a value axis on both sides, you can assign a different set of data to each axis. This causes Illustrator
to generate a different scale for each axis. This technique is especially useful when you combine different graph types
in the same graph.
1
Select the Group Selection tool
2
Click the legend for the data set you want to assign to the axis.
3
Without moving the Group Selection tool pointer from the legend, click again. All of the columns grouped with
the legend are selected.
4
Choose Object > Graph > Type, or double-click the graph tool in the toolbox.
5
From the Value Axis pop-up menu, select the axis to which you want to assign the data.
6
Click OK.

To format columns, bars, and lines
For column, stacked column, bar, and stacked bar graphs, you can adjust the amount of space between each column
or bar in the graph. You can also adjust the amount of space between the categories, or
clusters
, of data in the graph.
For line, scatter, and radar graphs, you can adjust the appearance of lines and data points.
1
Select the graph with the Selection tool.
2
Choose Object > Graph > Type, or double-click the graph tool in the toolbox.
3
To adjust the space between columns and bars in a column, stacked column, bar, or stacked bar graph, enter a
value between 1% and 1000% in the Column Width, Bar Width, or Cluster Width text box.
A value greater than 100% causes the columns, bars, or clusters to overlap one another. A value less than 100% leaves
space between the columns, bars, or clusters. A value of 100% moves the columns, bars, or clusters flush against each
other.
4
To adjust lines and data points in line, scatter, and radar graphs, set the Mark Data Points, Connect Data Points,
Edge-to-Edge Lines, and Draw Filled Lines options.
5
To change how columns, bars, and lines overlap, set the First Row In Front and First Column In Front options.
Note:
Always select First Column In Front for area graphs; if you do not, some areas may not appear.
General graph options
Value Axis
Determines where the value axis (the axis that displays the unit of measurement) appears.
Add Drop Shadow
Applies drop shadows behind the columns, bars, or lines in a graph, and to entire pie graphs.
Add Legend Across Top
Displays the legend horizontally across the top of the graph instead of to the right of the
graph.
First Row In Front
Controls how the categories, or clusters, of data in a graph overlap when the Cluster Width is
greater than 100%. This option is the most useful when working with column and bar graphs.
