1. Select the General tab from 3D Chart Options.
2. Select the following parameters from the dialog box:

   Force Risers to Square Dimensions

   This selection enables and disables square risers. If selected (ž), this property forces the aspect ratio of 3D risers to be perfectly square regardless of the dimensions of the cube. When this field is not selected, risers are drawn using the riser width and the aspect ratio of the cube. You can use the RiserWidth property to set the width of risers. For ribbons and floating graph types, you can use the Riser3DThicknessY property to set the height of the risers. The default value is not selected.

   Autoshading

   This selection enables and disables automatic shading of risers and the 3D cube. When this field is selected (ž), light source settings are used to automatically shade the faces of a 3D graph, simulating a cast light beam. If this field is not selected, all sides of 3D risers or the 3D cube are the same color. It is not possible to color each face separately. The default value is selected (ž).

   Light PositionX/Y/Z

   When Autoshading is selected (ž), use the Light Position sliders to change the shading of the 3D cube. These selections set the cube light source for the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinate (unit space). The default values are: Light Position X=0, Light Position Y=40, Light Position Z = 100.

3. Select the Apply button to add these parameters to the chart.

Selections in the associated dialog boxes add the following properties to the code that define this chart:

setCubeSquareRisers ( true | false );

setAutoshading ( true | false );

setCubeLightSourceX/Y/Z ( value );

1. Select the Combo tab from 3D Chart Options.
2. Select the properties that you want to apply to the numeric axis of the chart:

   Always Include Zero on Scale

   Selects whether or not the Y1 axis must include a zero value. If the Log Scale field is selected, or the Max Value or Min Value is greater than zero, this field will be grayed-out. It is not valid when the logarithmic scale is used or Min and Max Values are greater than zero. The default value is not selected.

   Use Manual Setting for Maximum

   Selects manual and automatic calculation of the maximum scale value on the Y1 axis in the chart. If this field is selected (ž), enter the maximum allowable scale value on the Y1 axis in the Max Value field. The default value is not selected (let the charting engine automatically calculate the maximum value on the Y1 Axis).

   Max Value

   When the Use Manual Setting for Maximum field is selected (ž), use this field to specify the maximum allowable scale value on the Y1 axis. The default value is 70.0.

   Use Manual Setting for Minimum

   Selects manual or automatic calculation of the minimum scale value on the Y1 axis in the chart. If this field is selected (ž), enter the minimum allowable scale value on the Y1 axis in the Min Value field. The default value is not selected (let the charting engine automatically calculate the minimum value on the Y1 Axis).

   Min Value

   When the Use Manual Setting for Minimum field is selected (ž), use this field to specify the minimum allowable scale value on the Y1 axis. The default value is 0.0.

   Log Scale

   Selects logarithmic or linear scale for the numeric Y1 axis. When the scale range is set to automatic, any data items with Y1 values less than or equal to zero are graphed as null for log scale. If a manual scale range is specified to include negative values (Min Value is less than or equal to zero), the request for log scale is ignored. The default value is linear scale (this field is not selected).

   Draw from Zero Line

   In applications where the data range can include negative numbers, this field determines whether the risers are drawn pointing up and down from a zero line or whether all risers are drawn straight up from the "bottom" of the graph. The default value is draw from a zero line (this field is selected).

3. Select the Apply button to add these selections to the chart.

Selections in the associated dialog boxes add the following properties and methods to the code that defines this chart:

setScaleMustIncludeZero(getY1Axis(),true | 
false);

setScaleMaxAuto( getY1Axis(), true | false );

setScaleMax( getY1Axis(), value );

setScaleMinAuto( getY1Axis(), true | false );

setScaleMin( getY1Axis(), value );

setLogScale(getY1Axis(), true | false );

setScaleFromZero( true | false );

1. Select the Extrude tab from 3D Chart Options.
2. Use the check boxes to enable or disable the display of all numeric axis labels, the minimum value, or the maximum axis label. When axis labels appear with Show Axis Labels, select the format of label values in the Format field.

   Show Axis Labels

   Enables and disables the display of labels on the Y1 axis in the chart. The default value is enabled (axis labels appear). Use the Format field to define the format of numeric labels. The location of Y1 labels can be controlled by the setY1AxisSide() property (that is, setY1AxisSide(2) will display Y1 axis scale on both sides of the cube).

   Format

   When Show Axis Labels is selected (ž), select the drop-down list box in this field to select a label format: General, 0%, 0.0%, $0, $0.00, and so on. The default value is General.

   Hide Minimum Value

   When Show Axis Labels is selected (ž), this field can be used to include or exclude the minimum value on the Y1 Axis. The default value is not selected (include the minimum label).

   Hide Maximum Value

   When Show Axis Labels is selected (ž), this field can be used to include or exclude the maximum value on the Y1 Axis. The default value is not selected (include the maximum label).
