chart over a shape
I have a shape that I have created. The problem is that this shape
covers my scatter plot. Is there a way I could have the data points be on top of the shape so I can click on the points? I know you can make the shape transparent but I would like to be able to interact with the points. Thanks, |

chart over a shape
You can save the shape as a picture and then import that picture into your
plot area. To do so, first save the shape as an image. To save the shape as an image, start with a workbook that contains only one sheet with your shape on it. Then save that workbook as a web page in a directory location that you can refer to later. Next, open the workbook with your chart in it. Double-click on the chart's plot area. In the Format Plot Area dialog box, go to Fill Effects - Picture - Select Picture. Access the file directory where you saved the image above and then import that image into your chart. -- John Mansfield http://www.cellmatrix.net "Laoballer" wrote: I have a shape that I have created.
