- Click a drawing element and then draw a shape on the canvas to represent the data point information block, for example a rectangle.
- To format the drawing element, select it on the canvas, and from the Property View, format the shape as needed. In this example, do the following:
- Expand the Rectangle property, and set the Radius X and Radius Y properties to: 10. The rectangle corners are rounded.
- Expand the Colors property, and in the Background field, type: gray. The rectangle background changes to gray.
- From the ribbon, on the Home tab, in the Elements group, click the Text element, and then draw a text box in the rectangle. Repeat this action, until you have three text boxes. Format and organize the text boxes as needed.
