Illustrator 10 - Creating graphs with own design

To apply design on the bars of a graph, you need to create a design to make it compatible for a graph and then apply it. It is up to you to decide what kind of design you want to apply. Once that is done, select the design and follow the steps to make it compatible for a graph.
• Click on "Object" on the menu bar.

• Click on "Graph> Design". This will open the "Graph Design" window.
