Creating Charts in iWork

Video Transcript

"Hey everybody! My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. One other object that you should be aware of how to create in a chart. If you come up here to the chart button and click there, it's going to give you a list of different types of charts that you can create. There's 2D and 3D charts. There's a couple of different types of charts. I'm just going to create a 2D bar chart real quick. It's going to automatically give me a default chart down here. You can move around the different parts of the chart. You can even change the size and the location of the bars in here. To edit the information within, it brought up a chart data editor in the top left. You can move this around. If you change the information in there, it's automatically going to show up down here in my chart as you can see. You can also edit the labels and the chart this way as well. Over here in your inspector, you've got a couple of options that you can change. You can mess around with the different axis’s and such things. Let me go ahead and delete this chart real quick. I'm going to go back up to the chard button and I'm going to create a 3D pie chart over here. These work the same way, but as you can see, I can create some pretty cool 3D charts underneath the chart tab and the inspector. If you select 3D scene, you can come over here and you can actually change the orientation and 3 dimensions of your chart. You can also change the depth of the chart as well as a couple of other things. You can make your charts as simple or as complicated as you like and you can come with some pretty cool graphics based on your spreadsheet numbers for a chart."
