Common Questions
How do I resize my chart?
You will find that resizing your chart is very similar to how you are resizing an object on Piktochart!
To resize your chart, simply drag the four handlers by the corner of your chart. The chart will resize proportionally by default, preserving the width-to-height ratio of the chart.
To resize your chart non-proportionally, drag one of the oval handlers on the top, left, right, and bottom sides of the chart.
Can I make the data table larger?
Simply click the Expand Table option on the top-right corner of the data table to expand it, and click Collapse to make it smaller. You can also drag the double-headed arrow to expand /resize the table.
How do I add more columns to my data?
To remove or insert a column/row, right-click on the row or column (not the header) for the drop-down options. Select either Insert Column to the left or right of the selected column.
You can also Delete Columns to remove columns from your data table.
