In addition to the animated charts described in the previous section, Interactive viewer supports modifying static tube, cone, and pyramid charts. These chart types are variations of the bar chart that use tubular, conical, and pyramid-shaped risers in place of bars. You use a bar, tube, cone, or pyramid chart to display data values as a set of vertical or horizontal columns.

You can use Interactive Viewer to modify the subtype of tube, cone, and pyramid charts to side‑by‑side, stacked, or percent stacked type depending on which type best represents the data being used. You can also specify formatting options for the chart, as described later in this document.

The example chart shown in Figure 8‑14, Figure 8‑15, and Figure 8‑16 uses the same data, profit and revenue by sales office, to illustrate these different chart types.
