Title: Data Graphic - how to customize it
Post by: niva on January 08, 2016, 08:08:37 AM
Hi,

I am trying to customize the graphical part of a data graphic that contains 2 textfields:
IP                           
MACHINENAME

Textfield are mapped to legend but I would like to customize graphical features as :
- space between legends
- size of legend

Then once graphical data is customized, I would like to save it as a graphical data template. How can I do this please ?

There's not much about datagraphics over the net. John Goldsmith and the VisioGuy have written some articles about them.
But to get you started try this one: https://blogs.office.com/2014/06/30/creating-custom-data-graphics-in-visio/ (https://blogs.office.com/2014/06/30/creating-custom-data-graphics-in-visio/)

By pure coincidence, I am currently writing a chapter on Customizing Data Graphics for my upcoming book, Mastering Data Visualization with Microsoft Visio 2016. In the meantime, you may find some of my blog articles useful : http://blog.bvisual.net/?s=text+callout
