You can change the colours and patterns applied to the walls of a 2D chart and the walls and base of a 3D chart, the colour used to draw the lines in the base and walls, the height of the base, and the width of the walls. The width of the walls and height of the base are measured in points.

You can change the format of the base and walls in the Chart Designer from the Base and Walls tabs of the Plot menu item.

Displaying as a pattern:

One of the options you can choose for a chart base or wall is to display the base or wall as a pattern. It is important to understand how patterns work before using them in your chart.

Patterns are bitmaps. A low resolution version of each bitmap displays the pattern on the screen. When you print a chart, a high resolution version of the bitmap is used if the output device prints at more than 144 dpi. The higher the resolution of the output device, the smaller the copies of the bitmaps that form the patterns are reproduced. At high resolutions, the charting utility adjusts the patterns to prevent the lines from getting too close together. Hatches are not bitmaps, but actual lines drawn to fill the object. They are always drawn at the same resolution, regardless of the output device.
