Creating and editing chart styles

Chart styles tabs

Chart styles define the fonts, colors, width, and background for charts used in custom reports. The Chart Styles explorer includes several predefined chart styles which you can apply to charts, and allows you to create custom chart styles. You can then apply the same chart style to charts in different reports to ensure that all the charts have a similar appearance.

The attributes defined in chart styles vary somewhat depending on the type of chart used in a report. Thus, the chart style options will vary depending on the type of chart the style should be applied to.The chart types available are described in the following table.
