Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for choosing options for chart styles.

When the Options button is selected from within a chart type dialog, the following options are available (depending on the type of chart you have selected):

Stacked: Plots data points within a series on top of each other.

100 percent: Shows each value in a group of data points as a percentage of all values in that group, adding up to 100 percent.

Drop Lines: Extends vertical lines from the highest value in each group of data points to the horizontal axis.

Overlap: Positive numbers overlap bars or columns within each group of data points. Negative numbers add white space between bars or columns instead of overlapping them.

Cluster Spacing: Adds or removes white space between series of bars or columns. The number you enter here determines how much white space there is between each series.

Hi-Lo Lines: Extends lines from the highest to the lowest value in each group of data points.

Angle of First Pie Slice: Represents the angle of the first edge of the first pie slice. The angle is measured in degrees clockwise from the vertical edge of that slice to the topmost point in the pie.

3D Axis: Adds 3-D depth to both axes of a chart.

3D Depth: Adds 3-D appearance to the data points plotted on a chart.
