Although a chart may seem like a single object at first glance, look closer and you will find that each chart comprises several individual elements that we call chart elements in PowerPoint. These chart elements include Series (and this could be one or more series with values), Categories (again this can be one or more categories), Axes (horizontal, vertical, and in some cases a third axis as well), Plot area (the active chart area), Legend, Chart Title, and many more. In this tutorial we’ll learn about these individual PowerPoint chart elements and also how to select and edit them.
