Adjusting the Elevation and Rotation in a 3-D Chart

For any 3-D chart you create, you can adjust the chart’s elevation and rotation to make it more visually appealing. To do this, click the chart and select 3-D View from the Chart menu. The 3-D View dialog box will appear.

The elevation is the height you view the chart from. Click the arrows to the left of the preview picture or enter a value (something between 90 and –90) in the Elevation field to adjust the elevation.

Rotation is the rotation of the plot area around the z-axis. Click the arrows below the preview picture or enter a value (something between 0 and 360) in the Rotation field to adjust the rotation
