Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video Recreating a graph at the proper size, part of Illustrator CC 2018 One-on-One Mastery.
- [Instructor] Alright so far we have…a relatively narrow graph.…We want something much bigger and meatier…like this final effect here.…Problem is we can't really get there…just by transforming what we have,…because notice, if I click on the graph to select it,…and then I grab my scale tool,…which I can get by pressing the S key,…I might click over here in order to set the origin point…and then move my cursor over to the right side…and drag while pressing the shift key,…so that I'm scaling the graph exclusively horizontally.…
You can see what happens, I end up stretching everything…including not only the graph designs, but the text as well.…And so really your only choice,…if you want the graph to be a different size,…unless you're going to scale it absolutely proportionally,…is to recreate the graph from scratch,…and I know that sounds horrible,…but it actually goes pretty quickly.…And so I'm going to select the graph I have…and I'm going to press the backspace key…or the delete key on a Mac to get rid of it…and then I'll go ahead and select that column graph tool…
