Formatting 3D Charts

Use Format → 3D View to fine-tune 3D charts. The 3D View dialog has three tabs where you can change the perspective of the chart, determine whether the chart uses the simple or realistic schemes or your own custom scheme, and the illumination that controls where the shadows will fall.
