Use this feature to define the appearance of the data series in your chart. To access it, when viewing a chart, right-click and select series. The series window appears.
As you change the settings for the chart, a preview of the chart style is shown at the bottom of the window.
In the series list at the top left, select the data series you wish to change. Use the following commands to add or remove data series:

Use the following tabs to edit the selected data series.
This tab allows you to set the overall type and appearance of your chart.
Fill effects: Specifies how the data series will be filled (with solid colour, a custom gradient, a texture from an image file, a repeated pattern, or merge all effects, which is a combination of all four fill methods). You can set further options for gradients, textures and patterns in the appropriate tabs.
Transparency: Determines how transparent the data series is. By using the slider, you can set the data series to be solid, completely transparent, or anything in between. Note that if the data series still has a border, set on the border tab, its outline will still be visible.
Colour: If solid colour is selected in fill effects, this option determines the colour of the data series.
Mapping: Specifies the type of mapping used to apply the fill effect.
Lay-out: Determines how the fill effect is fitted to the data series.
X-Scale: Specifies the scaling to be used along the X dimension for the data series's background fill effect.
Y-Scale: Specifies the scaling to be used along the Y dimension for the data series's background fill effect.
Rotation: Specifies the rotation angle to be used for the data series's background texture.
Black texture background: If this option is selected, any parts of the data series not covered by the fill effect will be filled in black. If it is not selected, they will be filled according to the colour specified in the colour option (see above).
This tab, which is available only if you select gradient or merge all effects in fill effects on the colour tab, allows you to set the details of the colour gradient for the selected series.
Begin: Select the colour with which you wish to begin the gradient. For example, if you want the gradient to run from green to white, you would select green here.
End: Select the colour with which you wish to end the gradient. For example, if you want the gradient to run from green to white, you would select white here.
Shading styles: Select the direction in which you want the gradient to run.
Variants: Select the specific pattern of shading. The available choice depends upon the selection you made in shading styles.
This tab, which is available only if you select texture or merge all effects in fill effects on the colour tab, allows you to set a background texture for the selected series.
File: Nominate the image file you want to use to fill the data series. The file must be in Windows Bitmap (BMP), JPEG or GIF format.
This tab, which is available only if you select pattern or merge all effects in fill effects on the colour tab, allows you to set a repeating pattern for the selected series.
Foreground: Select the pattern's foreground colour.
Background: Select the pattern's background colour.
Patterns: Select the pattern with which you want to fill the data series.
This tab allows you to set colour effects for the selected series.
Ambient colour: The ambient colour to be applied to the series. Ambient colour has no discernible source, so is even across the series. Adding ambient colour will usually make the series brighter.
Diffuse colour: The diffuse colour to be applied to the series. Diffuse colour comes from a particular direction.
Specular colour: The specular colour to be applied to the series. Specular light comes from a specific direction and bounces off the series surface in a specific direction.
Emissive colour: The emissive colour to be applied to the series. Emissive colour emanates from the series itself.
Shininess: Determines the shininess of the colour applied to the series.
This tab allows you to control the appearance of the borders around the selected data series.
Style: Select the line style (e.g. dotted or solid).
Width: Select the line width.
Colour: Select the line colour.
