Using the projection and viewpoint settings, you can display your 3D chart at any angle to provide the desired view or call attention to a specific chart section.

Projection

Determine the projection for a 3D chart using the following properties.

Property Name Description
ZDepthRatio The Z depth ratio is the level of depth the Z axis has in the chart. The ratio of the length specified in the X-axis of Z-axis Values range from 0 (for a 2D chart) to 1.0. This property is useful in adjusting the size of 3D chart.
ProjectionDX The origin position of the Z axis in relation to the X axis. This property is valid only when the ProjectionType is Orthogonal.
ProjectionDY The origin position of the Z axis in relation to the Y axis. This property is valid only when the ProjectionType is Orthogonal.
ProjectionType The type of projection used for the chart. In order to show charts three dimensionally, the ProjectionType in the ChartArea Collection editor must be set to Orthogonal. To access this dialog box, click the ellipsis button next to the ChartAreas (Collection) property in the Properties Window.
HorizontalRotation The HorizontalRotation property allows you to set the degree (-90° to 90°) of horizontal rotation from which the chart is seen.
VerticalRotation The VerticalRotation property allows you to set the degree (-90° to 90°) of vertical rotation from which the chart is seen.
