Chart Elements
Although a chart may seem like a single object at first glance, look closer and you will find that each chart
comprises several individual elements that we call chart elements in PowerPoint. These chart elements include
Series (and this could be one or more series with values), Categories (again this can be one or more categories),
Axes (horizontal, vertical, and in some cases a third axis as well), Plot area (the active chart area), Legend,
Chart Title, and many more. In this tutorial we'll learn about these individual PowerPoint chart elements and also
how to select and edit them.
Chart Legend
The Legend within a chart is one of those chart elements that lets you identify all the Series in a chart
via color or pattern. Typically, the Legend is a box or area with swatches -- the Legend captions individual
series with different colors so that you can follow which Series each of the columns in that chart represent. |

Quick Layouts for Charts
Did you want to move the location of the legend in your chart? Or do you always need to add a Data Table?
Does PowerPoint's default layout options for all chart elements work for you? Or perhaps it doesn't? If you
identify with any of these scenarios, you will love the way you can play with different layouts for your
charts using the pre-defined Chart Quick Layouts feature. This essentially is a collection of some pre-arranged
layouts containing chart elements. With just a couple of clicks you can change the entire look of your chart,
as explained in this tutorial.
Chart Title
Adding a title to your chart is always a good option since it provides your audience with an idea of what
your chart is all about. Yes, PowerPoint does provide this Chart Title option -- but before you go ahead
and use this option, you must decide if you need a chart title or not. Here are some guidelines that will
help you make that decision.
Chart Data Labels
Data Labels in charts are used to display the value, or the name of the Chart Series, or
Categories right above or next to the Series on the chart. Adding Data Labels can help the presenter reveal
exact values along with the Series, so that he or she need not check on the Y axis to ascertain approximate values
of any Series. In this tutorial, let us learn how to add Data Labels in a chart. |
