Apply a column design to a graph

  1. Create or import the column design.
  2. Use the Group Selection tool  to select the columns or bars you want to fill with the design, or select the entire graph.
  3. Choose Object > Graph > Column.
  4. Select a column design type.

    If you choose the Repeating Column Type, enter a value in the Each Design Represents text box. Also select whether to chop or scale any fractions of the design from the For Fractions pop‑up menu. Chop Design cuts off a fraction of the top design as necessary; Scale Design scales the last design to fit in the column.
