In the course of this example, we will learn how to change histogram overlays to stacked.

 

For convenience, we will use the same layout from the previous section.

1. Select the histogram if necessary.

2. Choose the Specific Options category in the docked Formatting dialog. Alternatively, you can click the Format tab→Plot Options group→Specific Options commandFormatSpecificOptions.

 

 

A Formatting Histogram Specific Options dialog will appear (Figure T3.32).

3.Click radio button next to Stacked under Display Multiple Overlay Data option (Figure T3.32, red outline).
