Bar
Properties
In the Object Properties
window, double-click on barProperties
in the Property Name field to bring
up the Bar Properties dialog. In the Bar Properties dialog you can assign
attributes to each bar in a bar
graph. NOTE: Before assigning attributes to
bars in your bar graph, it is recommended that you first attach the bar graph to data.
Bar - There is one entry for each bar that is
currently displaying data in
the bar graph. The Color and Fill
Pattern columns list the current settings for each bar.
Color - Select the ellipsis 
button in the Color column and choose a color from the palette to set the color
of the bar. Close the Color
Chooser window. Fill Pattern - Select the ellipsis
button in the Fill Pattern column and choose a pattern from the palette to set
the fill pattern of the bar.
Close the Fill Pattern window. NOTE: The
fill patterns in your bar graph are ignored unless the
barGradientStyle property is set to None.
Add Bar Property -
Click to add a Bar Property entry. This does not add
a bar to your graph, it adds a bar entry so that you can set properties for bars
that will display data that is not yet available. This is useful if the data
attachment is not available when you setup your bar graph, or if the number of
rows or columns returned by your data attachment varies. Delete Bar Property - Removes the last
bar property entryfrom the Bar Properties dialog.
