Chart Wizard allows you to create charts in a few easy steps. To start the wizard, press the "Chart Wizard" button in the chart editor. Wizards provide step-by-step instructions for creating charts. By default, the first type (Clustered Columns) is selected in the list.
information: Press the Next button to proceed to the next step. You can always go back to the previous step by clicking the Back button.
The chart component contains a collection of preset chart styles. Select one of them to create a graph. By default, the first style in the list is selected.
In the next step, we need to create a series of graphs and specify their values.
Click this button to open the list of series. There are different types of series in the list depending on the specific type of chart. To add a series to your chart, you have to select it in the list.
Deletes the selected set of charts.
Buttons are used to move the number of selected series in the list of charts.
This panel shows a list of chart series.
This optional field allows you to rename the series. By default, all series are named Series + "number".
This panel allows you to set chart arguments and values. This panel has two tabs.
In the Data Columns tab you have to specify the data columns for arguments and values. For example, the Arguments column contains the entries A, B, and C. The value column contains entries 23, 43, and 56. In this case argument A matches the value 23 and argument B matches the value. 43, and argument C-value 56.
In addition to data columns, you can manually set arguments and values. This can be done on the Value List tab.
Add a new block consisting of argument and value fields. The added block should know that the specified value corresponds to this block's argument.
Remove the last inserted block of fields Value and Argument.
A list of argument fields. These fields contain chart arguments. For example, arguments A, B, C, D.
Value list field. These fields display the values in the chart. For example, values 1, 2, 3, 4.
information: Note that at least one value is required and a value must be specified for the chart to render. If no arguments are given, it will be created automatically.
In the next step, we need to define the appearance of the chart labels. Labels are disabled by default.
A list of chart labels and an example of their placement on this type of chart.
The parameters of the labels, their angles, the text before the header, the text after the header, etc.
information: If you create the chart manually instead of using the wizard, you should know that you can specify the appearance of the labels for the chart as a whole, and the appearance of each row of labels. When creating a chart using the wizard, you can only define the general form of the signature for the entire diagram. This is one type for all series in the chart.
In the next step we need to define the axis settings.

The most important settings are displayed on the axis. Additionally, this panel has tabs for Axis X and Axis Y.
Parameter Title. This group of settings specifies the axis title text and its alignment.
Parameter Ticks. This is determined by the number of intermediate ticks and the display mode. No Labels, Main Only, and All Labels.
group grid lines. This group defines the grid line parameters.
group label. In this group you can specify parameters for axis titles such as on/off and reverse.
In the last step, we need to define the parameters for the chart legend. A legend is an area that displays symbols for different data series in a chart.

group title. Here you can specify the legend title.
group alignment. Legends can be placed in various places on the chart. In this group you can set the vertical and horizontal alignment of the chart legend.
Group Direction. Legend entries can be oriented in different directions. Here you can indicate the direction of the legend for this group.
group marker. Markers are icons that help visually recognize a set of charts. The number of markers corresponding to the row number. Setting markers is done in this group of parameters.
Group spacing. Use these parameters to increase or decrease the vertical and horizontal indentation of the legend. Also in this group is the parameter Visible. Enable this option to show the legend. If not - no legend will be displayed.
