Exercise 5: Create a bar chart

Plot materials data on a bar chart using the Chart/Index Stage.

  1. Select MaterialUniverse: All bulk materials on the Chart/Select tab.
  2. Make a bar chart of Young’s Modulus (E).

    Under Selection Stages, click Chart/Select.

    Set the Y-Axis attribute to Young's modulus, then click OK (you can click on the Attribute field and start typing the name to quickly find and select the Attribute you are interested in).

    For a bar chart, you do not set an X-Axis, so leave X-Axis set to <None>.

  3. Explore the chart.

    Click Zoom in and then drag to focus on a specific area of the chart, and Zoom out to return to a wider view.

    Click Autoscale to zoom back to view the whole chart again.

  4. Label records on the chart.

    Click a record in the chart and then drag to add and position a new data label.

    To delete a data label, select it and press DELETE. To delete all labels in the chart, press CTRL+A and then press DELETE.
