How can you make these charts be very small, so tiny thay can fit on a line of text?
Nothing special, just play with your favourite chart component parameters (cf. protocol attached) and put sparklines and inline charts everywhere
- Remove the title: Chart OptionsTitle
- Remove the legend: Chart OptionsDisplay OptionsShow Legend = False
- Hide the axes: X AxisShow Axis = False and Y AxisShow Axis = False (BTW a limitation of the horizontal bar chart in flash, you cant hide axes. for the image version neither, but you can change their colour to #FEFFFF, as White is not accepted for some reason. cf. 8)
- Set a horizontal line (Optional, for example if you need a subtle X axis to show a deviation): Chart OptionsDisplay OptionsShow Horizontal Gridlines = True and Y AxisTickmark OptionsMajor Tickmark Start Value = 0 (to show a subtle X axis, or any value to show a deviation)
- Remove any style: Chart OptionsFormat should be empty
- Remove the chart margin and padding: Chart OptionsPositionMargin Top = 0 Pixels, etc. most important are the Padding ones
- Reduce chart size (obviously): Chart OptionsPositionWidth = 50 Pixels and Height = 15 Pixels for example
- Try Image and Flash version of your chart (because the Flash and Image versions of the charts are slightly different, depending on the type of chart component you use, they may not have the same limitations (this is fine tuning). So try the other one to check whether it's better for what you want to achieve): Chart OptionsDisplay Type = Flash/Image (try both)
- Put the chart in the line of text: Finish with a Paragraph component
