Does anyone know what they are? > I have not had the opportunity to use Excel 4.0 but I look forward to additional graphics capabilities. Specifically, I wish to get at graphic object scaling under the chart tool. I would like to plot an ellipse by scaling an oval to the value axes. Excel 3.0 appears to have the capacity for this but no provision for the user to get at it. I can associate an oval from the spreadsheet with a bar graph and have some vertical scaling capability .. but not vertical and horizontal. I hope this is fixed. Perhaps someone might know of a fix or undocumented macro function that allows more robust graphic object scaling? Please let me know. Thank you, Mike Koopman <mgkst1@unix.cis.pitt.edu>
