Choose a dimension for the chart from the Dimension list. You can choose one of the following:

You can select two-dimensional subtypes for all charts. Choosing 2D displays the chart flat against the chart background. When you choose the 2D dimension for a column or bar chart, Interactive Viewer highlights the Use Glass Style field by default. This option displays the chart with rounded edges in a column or bar chart. Deselect this option to display a column or bar chart with sharp edges. Choosing 3D displays the chart against an additional axis to the existing x‑ and y‑axes, providing greater depth. Choosing 2D With Depth also gives the chart an appearance of depth.

Figure 8‑28 shows an example of a bar chart with a dimension setting of 3D on the left, and the same bar chart using a dimension setting of 2D with depth, on the right. Three-dimensional charts show how an object on the z‑axis changes according to the x‑ and y‑axes. The bar chart with two-dimensional depth setting gives the appearance of a three‑dimensional object, but is arranged on the x‑ and y‑axes only.
