Adding Texture to Chart Bars

You can add texture to the bars in a graph or chart (instead of the default colors) via bitmap graphics:

  1. Enter edit mode by double-clicking on the chart.

  2. Double-click on the bar you want to edit. All bars of this series are now selected.

    If you want to edit only one bar, click again on that bar.

  3. In the context menu choose \<emph\>Object Properties\</emph\>. Then choose the \<emph\>Area\</emph\> tab.

  4. Click on \<emph\>Bitmap\</emph\>. In the list box select a bitmap as a texture for the currently selected bars. Click \<emph\>OK\</emph\> to accept the setting.
