In this movie, I'll show you how to repair a broken pictograph.…Specifically in our case, we need to take these tiny…little dudes here, and rotate them so that they're upright.…But if you click on the graph in order…to select it, then you may need to press Ctrl+H…or Cmd+H on a Mac in order to bring back…your selection edges, and then right click and choose Column.…You may notice that while you can rotate the legend design, there's no option for…rotating the design inside the actual graph.…So instead you need to redefine the graph design.…
So I'll go ahead and cancel out of here and…I'll zoom out once again and switch over to this guy.…And I'll go ahead and grab him, like so,…and I don't need the guide this time around.…I'll just get him.…And I'll create a copy of him by dragging him over to the…side here and pressing the Alt key, or the Option key on the Mac.…Now he's laying down 90 degrees clockwise inside the graph,…so I need to rotate him 90 degrees counterclockwise to compensate.…So, I'll double click on the rotate tool, here inside the tool box.…
