    Using Charts 

 

On pie charts, you can display series names. 

Select the chart or individual pie wedges.

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Chart Inspector button, and then click Series. 

Choose Show Series Name from the Data Point Label pop-up menu.

Choose Inside or Outside from the Data Point Label pop-up menu.

To make pie wedges more visually prominent, you can separate them from the pie. You 
can add a series name to separated wedges to further enhance their prominence, as 
“Showing Data Point Labels” on page 109 describes.

To move a single wedge away from the center of a 2D or 3D pie chart, select it and 
then drag it or use the Explode control on the Series pane of the Chart Inspector.

m

To separate all the wedges away from the center of a 3D pie chart, select the chart 
before using the Explode control.

You can put shadows on individual pie wedges or on the pie as a whole. Putting 
shadows on individual wedges makes it look as if the wedges are on different layers. 

When you add a shadow to a pie wedge, it’s a good idea to separate it first. See 
“Separating Individual Pie Wedges,” earlier in this section, for instructions.

Select the chart or individual pie wedges.

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Chart Inspector button, and then click Series.

To add shadows to wedges, choose Individual from the Shadow pop-up menu.

To add shadows to the chart as a whole, choose Group from the Shadow pop-up 
menu.

To set shadow attributes, use the Graphic Inspector. See “Adding Shadows” on 
page 156 for instructions.

Set a pie wedge apart by 
using the Explode slider and 
giving it a series name.
