Graphs

Last updated 6/5/2015

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.

Import a column or marker design

Illustrator comes with a variety of preset designs that you can use in your graphs. You can also transfer the graph designs

you create between documents.

1 Choose Window > Swatch Libraries > Other Library.

2 Do one of the following:

• To import preset graph designs, navigate to the Cool Extras/Sample Files/Graph Designs folder inside the

Illustrator application folder. Then select a graph designs file, and click Open.

• 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.

Create a column design

1 Create a rectangle as the backmost object in the design. The rectangle represents the boundary of the graph design.

Copy and paste the smallest column in your graph to use it as the bounding rectangle for your design.
