First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device comprising a memory storage and aprocessing unit, a standard chart;
providing, by the computing device, a chart element pictorially, the chart element representing a chart modification for use in changing the standard chart;
modifying, by the computing device, the standard chart with the chart element, by;
presenting a first gallery representing a feature of the standard chart for possible modification, wherein the feature of the standard chart for possible modification comprises a horizontal axis title and a vertical axis title;
receiving a selection of the vertical axis title for possible modification from the first gallery;
presenting with a set of visual representations of how the vertical axis title could be modified in a second gallery, the set of visual representations comprising at least the following;
a visual representation to not display an axis title and a visual representation to display the axis title in a rotated orientation; and
receiving a selection of one of the visual representations to modify the standard chart; and
displaying, by the computing device, the modified chart.

Abstract
A chart element representing a chart modification for a standard chart may be provided pictorially by a computing device. The standard chart may be modified using the chart element through the presentation of a first gallery representing a feature of the standard chart for possible modification. The feature may include a horizontal axis title and a vertical axis title. A selection of the vertical axis title for possible modification from the first gallery may be received. A set of visual representations of how the vertical axis title could be modified in a second gallery may then be presented. The visual representations may include options for not displaying an axis title and for displaying an axis title in a rotated orientation. One of the options may be selected to modify the standard chart. The modified chart may then be displayed by the computing device.
