Advanced Dialog Box

You can use the Advanced dialog box to achieve different goals. This topic describes the options in the dialog box, which vary according to the different sources where you open it.

If you open the Advanced dialog box from the Color List dialog box, you can use it to define certain patterns to specific values in a chart to apply the same visual effect to the same value. Note that this feature does not apply to surface 3-D, gauge bubble 2-D, and all scatter chart types, and the settings in the dialog box have higher priority than the ones in the Color List dialog box.

You see the following options in the dialog box:

Add button

Remove button

Select to delete the specified value.

Values

This column shows the values to which you select to apply the fill patterns.

• If the chart has series field, specify a series value to which to apply the fill pattern.
• If the chart has no series field, specify a category value to which to apply the fill pattern.

Fill

This column shows the colors that you specify to apply to the values. To edit the color, select the color indicator and select a color from the color palette or type the hexadecimal value of a color (for example, 0xff0000) in the text box.
