Group the elements of the two objects together then align them centrally. Draw a small circle and align it to the end of one of the end points. Hold Alt and drag a duplicate to decorate each point of the star. The Smart Guides will help easily snap the centre of the circle directly to each anchor point. Hold the Alt key and begin drawing a black circle from the centre of the stars. Elsewhere on the artboard draw a small vertical line with a 1pt stroke. Remove the stroke from the last line to leave a naked path.
Select Pattern Brush from the options. Duplicate one of the centre circles and scale it down slightly. Apply the newly created brush as a stroke effect to see the series of lines repeat around the circumference of the whole circle.
Begin drawing another shape with the star tool elsewhere on the artboard. Reduce the number of points to 3 then hold the Alt key to reset the angles to produce a tiny triangle. Drag the topmost point vertically with the Direct Selection tool while holding Shift to extend the shape. Select the top and right points of the last triangle and delete them before creating a new Pattern brush.
You can blur the image in several ways. Stacy Stacy Lee is an eccentric writer and an avid traveler. She loves to explore new books and locations with her pooch.
Table of contents 1. You can select the Spiral tool by clicking and holding the Line Segment tool. You can rotate the spiral by dragging the pointer in an arc until it is the desired size. Click where you want the spiral to begin in the dialog box. Click OK to close the window. Ctrl Windows or Command Mac OS should be held down until the selection is distorted to the desired level.
For stacked bar graphs, numbers must be all positive or all negative. Each column of data corresponds to one line in the line graph. You can combine positive and negative values in a line graph. Values must be all positive or all negative. Each row of data entered corresponds to a filled area on the area graph. Therefore, even if area graphs and line graphs contain the same data, they appear substantially different.
Note : Disable the option Connect Data Points to remove connecting lines. You can organize data sets for pie graphs similarly to other graphs. However, each row of data in the worksheet generates a separate graph. To view more or fewer digits in a column, adjust the column width. This change has no effect on the width of columns in the graph. Click the Cell Style button and enter a value between 0 and 20 in the Column Width text box.
Position the pointer at the edge of the column you want to adjust. The pointer changes to a double arrow. Then drag the handle to the desired position.
Click the Cell Style button and enter a value between 0 and 10 in the Number of Decimals text box. With the default value of 4 decimals, the number entered in a cell appears in the Graph Data window box as With the default value of 2 decimals, the number entered in a cell appears in the Graph Data window box as You can combine different graph types in one graph. For example, you may want one set of data to appear as a column graph and other sets of data to appear as a line graph.
You can combine any type of graph with any other, with the exception of scatter graphs. Scatter graphs cannot be combined with any other graph type. Select the Group Selection tool. You can format graphs in a variety of ways. Moreover, you can change the colors of shading, typeface, and typestyle; move, reflect, shear, rotate, or scale any or all parts of the graph; and customize column and marker designs.
You can apply transparency, gradients, blends, brush strokes, graphic styles, and other effects to graphs. Always apply such customizations in the end, because regenerating the graph removes them. A graph is a grouped object that is related to its data. Ungrouping the graph may disable you to make the desired changes. To edit a graph, select the parts you want to edit without ungrouping the graph, using either the Direct Selection tool or the Group Selection tool.
Elements of a graph are related to each other. The entire graph with its legends is one group. All the sets of data are a subgroup of the graph; in turn, each set of data with its legend box is a subgroup of all the sets of data.
Each value is a subgroup of its set of data, and so on. Avoid ungrouping or regrouping objects that are within the graph. You can also select a group by clicking one of its parts, clicking again to select columns grouped with it, and clicking a third time to select the legend. Each click adds another layer of grouped objects to the selection, beginning with the next group up in the hierarchy.
You can click as many times as the number of groups to add to a selection. Select the graph you've created using the Selection tool. For details, see Scale, shear, and distort objects. Select a graph with the Selection tool. In the Graph Type dialog box, click the button that corresponds to the desired graph type, and click OK. Once graph objects are painted with gradients, changing graph types can cause unexpected results. To prevent undesirable results, either do not apply gradients until the graph is finished, or use the Direct Selection tool to select gradient-painted objects and paint those objects with a process color; then reapply the original gradients.
With the exception of pie graphs, all graphs have a value axis which displays the unit of measurement for the graph. You can choose to display the value axis on one side or both sides of the graph. Bar, stacked bar, column, stacked column, line, and area graphs also have a category axis which defines the categories of data in the graph.
You can control how many tick marks appear on each axis, change the length of tick marks, and add a prefix and suffix to numbers on the axis.
Select the graph with the Selection tool. Determines the placement of tick marks on value axes, left axes, right axes, bottom axes, or top axes. Select Override Calculated Values to manually calculate the placement of tick marks. Either accept the values set when you created the graph or enter a minimum value, a maximum value, and the number of divisions between labels. Determines the length of tick marks and number of tick marks per division.
For category axes, select Draw Tick Marks Between Labels to draw tick marks on either side of the labels or columns, or deselect the option to center tick marks over the labels or columns. Specifies a prefix and suffix for numbers on value axes, left axes, right axes, bottom axes, or top axes. For example, you can add a dollar sign or percent sign to axis numbers. If your graph has a value axis on both sides, you can assign a different set of data to each axis.
This causes Illustrator to generate a different scale for each axis. This technique is especially useful when you combine different graph types in the same graph.
Without moving the Group Selection tool pointer from the legend, click again. All of the columns grouped with the legend are selected. For column, stacked column, bar, and stacked bar graphs, you can adjust the amount of space between each column or bar in the graph. You can also adjust the amount of space between the categories, or clusters , of data in the graph. For line, scatter, and radar graphs, you can adjust the appearance of lines and data points. This option is the most useful when working with column and bar graphs.
First Column In Front : Places the column, bar, or line that corresponds to the first column of data in the Graph Data window on top. Always select First Column In Front for area graphs. Some areas may not appear if you don't select this option. You can change the placement of the legend and how wedges are sorted in pie graphs.
You can also specify how you want to display multiple pie graphs. Standard Legend B. Legends In Wedges C. No Legend. Stacked : Stacks each pie graph on top of the other, and each graph is sized proportionally to each other.
All : Sorts the wedges of the selected pie graphs from largest to smallest value proceeding clockwise from the top of the pie graph. First : Sorts the wedges of the selected pie graphs so that the largest value in the first graph will be placed in the first wedge, and the rest will sort from largest to smallest. All other graphs will follow the order of the wedges in the first graph. None : Sorts the wedges of the selected pie graphs in the order in which you entered values proceeding clockwise from the top of the graphs.
By default, the legend is displayed to the right of the graph. However, you can choose to display it horizontally across the top of the graph. However, you can easily change the formatting of type to add visual interest to your graph. You can apply drop shadows behind the columns, bars, or lines in a graph, and to entire pie graphs.
You can use graph designs to add illustrations to columns and markers. Graph designs can be simple drawings, logos, or other symbols representing values in a graph; they can also be complex objects that contain patterns and guide objects. Illustrator comes with a variety of preset graph designs.
In addition, you can create new graph designs and store them in the Graph Design dialog box. Vertically scaled design. Uniformly scaled design.
Is scaled both vertically and horizontally. The horizontal spacing of the designs is not adjusted for the different widths. Repeating design. Stacks a design to fill the columns. You can specify the value that each design represents, as well as whether you want to chop or scale designs that represent fractions. Sliding design. Is similar to a vertically scaled design, except that you can specify where in the design to stretch or compress it. For example, if you were using a person to represent data, you might stretch or compress only the body, but not the head.
Using the Vertically Scaled option would scale the entire person. To import graph designs from another document, select the document, and click Open. Initially, all that appears is a new panel with colors, gradients, and patterns from the imported file. However, the imported graph designs will be available when you open the Graph Column or Graph Marker dialog box.
