Chart Editor

The chart editor is launched by clicking on the icon in the chart window.

Using the chart editor we can make changes to the appearance of a chart. Many, but not all, of these changes can be saved as chart formatting information and re-applied to the chart when new data is available. A number of these changes can be applied as a group automatically when creating a chart; see File | Options | Charts | Themes.
