Is it possible to add images to a chart?

Step-by-step guide on how to add images to charts

There may be a special chart in which you need to use an image (photo,
drawing, logo, Clip Art) as a background for the chart.

If you want to insert a picture as a background for your chart, use the
following procedure:

1) Open up the presentation that contains the chart or create your new
chart

2) Create the new chart on new slide or double-click on the chart that
you have selected

3) Double-click on the "Walls" area (the default gray area
which is the background of the chart)

4) In the "Format Walls" box, click on "Fill Effects..."
under "Area"

5) A box named "Fill effects" will open up

6) Click on the "Picture" tab

7) Click on "Select picture" and browse your computer to
locate the picture you want to insert.

8) As soon as you click on "OK", the picture will be inserted
and displayed as a background for your chart.

To modify some additional settings, you can:

Go back to step 7 and, before clicking "OK", change the
format of the picture.

Choosing the default option, "Stretch", will cause the
picture to be stretched to fit the whole background area of the chart.

Choosing "Stack", PowerPoint will duplicate the selected
picture as many times as needed to fill the chart background area.



It is worth mentioning that also the columns or bars can be filled with
a picture. The procedure is exactly the same: select the bars or column,
double-click on one data series and then choose "Fill effects".

When you choose a 3-D chart, you also have the option of deciding in
what surface of the column you will place the picture: sides, front or end.
