Bevel effect
Use the bevel effect to create bevels on chart and gadget objects. This effect is typically applied to a data plot, as shown in Figure 14‑30. As the figure shows, the bevel makes the pie chart appear more three-dimensional. By setting properties, you can control the angle, depth, and color of the bevel.
