3. In the chart menu, select one of the chart types:

   Chart Type	Description
   Area	A horizontal chart in which bands occupy various amounts of the displayed area to indicate relevant values.
   Horizontal Bar	A horizontal chart that shows changes in relative quantities, usually by time units seen as solid rectangles, over a span of time.
   Line	A horizontal chart that shows changes in relative quantities, usually by time units plotted on a line, over a span of time.
   Pie	A circular chart with proportional wedges for the relevant values.
   Scatter Plot	A horizontal chart that shows changes in relative quantities, usually by time units plotted as separate points, over a span of time.
   Stacking Area	A horizontal chart in which stacked bands occupy various amounts of the displayed area to indicate relevant values.
   Stacking Bar	A horizontal chart that shows changes in relative quantities, usually by time units seen as stacked solid rectangles, over a span of time.
   3D Bar	A corner-anchored graph with height, width, and depth dimensions that can show three axes of categorical and quantitative information.

4. The data in the monitor switches to a chart presentation.

For data monitors, the Chart Showing Priorities submenu offers many of these same charting options, but with graphic elements such as pie wedges or bar segments that distinguish their priority-level components.
