Bevels and gradients – how to spice up your charts
Published on: 21 December 2011
The Charting Companion programs offer three flavors of color – regular, gradient and bevel.
The gradient option creates a nice, smooth blend that softens the color, as in this example:
![]() |
| Gradient color |
The bevel option draws a beveled edge around each square, and adds a nice textured gradient in the center.
![]() |
| Beveled color |
Both options provide eye-catching enhancements that are a colorful way of telling the story of your family.
