SmartArt Graphics with Style SmartArt 图形和样式 Here is the second guest post from Matthew Kotler, a lead program manager on the SmartArt team. 这是Matthew Kotler的第二篇客串帖子,他是SmartArt小组的主要项目经理。 In the last post, I presented an overview of SmartArt Graphics. In this post, I'll show how to take the basic SmartArt Graphic that you have created and format it to make it really stand out (or subtly fit in, depending on your goal). Just like cells, tables, and shapes, SmartArt Graphics build on the rich functionality of document themes. When you insert a SmartArt Graphic into your spreadsheet (or document or presentation) you can be assured that it will match the rest of the content on the sheet. Like each of these other objects, if you change the theme of the spreadsheet, the look of the SmartArt Graphic will change. 在上篇帖子里,我发表了SmartArt图形的概述。在本篇中,我将演示如何将你创建的普通SmartArt图形设置格式使其真正突出(或者巧妙的融入,取决于你的目的)。正如单元格,表格和图形(译者:Shape)一样,SmartArt图形也为文档主题丰富的功能性增色不少。当你插入一个SmartArt图形到电子表格(或者文档或演示稿)时,你可以肯定它将和工作表的其它部分相匹配。就象其它的每个对象一样,如果你更改电子表格的主题,那么SmartArt图形的外观也将改变。 SmartArt Graphics also includes two galleries for quickly changing the look of a graphic on the Design tab under SmartArt Tools. SmartArt图形在SmartArt工具下面的设计页上也含有两个图库,以供快速更改图形的外观。
The first gallery provides a range of different stylistic options including different shape fills, line styles, shadows, and 3D effects. Like many of the other galleries across Office 2007, this gallery has automatic live preview to show what your graphic could look like with one of the quick styles applied. 第一个图库提供许多不同的格式选项,包括不同的图形填充,线条样式,阴影和3D效果。和Office 2007里许多其它图形一样,该图库有自动的在线预览功能,显示应该该快捷样式后你的图形会变成什么样。
Here's the same SmartArt Graphic with a few styles applied: 这里是一些应用了不同样式的相同SmartArt图形:
The second gallery provides a range of different color options that can be selected for a SmartArt Graphic, each one applying one or more theme color in a different way to the graphic. 第二个图库提供许多不同的可以为SmartArt选择的颜色选项,每个选项按不同的方式应用一个或者多个主题颜色到该图形。
And here's that same SmartArt Graphic with a few color variations applied: 这里是应用一些不同颜色的相同SmartArt图形:
The goal of each of these galleries, combining a SmartArt Graphic with an array of styles and color variations, is to allow you to create a unique visual. 每种图库结合SmartArt图形一系列不同的样式和颜色变化的目的是让你创建独特的视觉效果。
But, if the built in galleries are not enough to give you the look you want, almost all elements of a SmartArt Graphic are customizable. 但是,如果内置的图库不够提供你想要的外观的话,几乎所有SmartArt图形的成员都是可自定义的。
SmartArt Graphics are built on the same foundation as regular shapes in Excel. Therefore, if you do not like the automatic text sizing, you can override it by manually applying a different font size. If the quick style gallery does not have the right combination of fills, lines, and effects then you can apply an individual shape style or fully customize the shape yourself. If the size and position of a shape on the worksheet is not the way you want it, then you can just move the shape around or resize it. The formatting tab within "SmartArt Tools" provides an entry point to many of these customizations: SmartArt图形和普通的Excel图形是创建在同一个基础上的。因此,如果你不喜欢自动文本字体大小的话,那么你可以通过手动设置不同的字体来克服它。如果该快捷图库没有正确的结合填充,线条和效果,那么你自己可以设置自己的图形样式,或者完全自定义该图形。如果该工作表上图形的大小和位置不遂你意的话,你也可以随便移动图形或者改变其大小。“SmartArt工具”里的格式页提供了这些自定义的切入点。
Even after applying any of these customizations you can still go back and change to a different layout and SmartArt Graphics will attempt to bring those customizations forward. I recommend saving your customizations for the end but this gives you the flexibility to make sure that the graphic communicates what you want it to. Just in case you realize you have gone too far with customizations, there's always the Reset Graphic button back on the Design tab to take you back to a happy place. 甚至在应用任何这些自定义设置之后,你仍然可以回到前面,更改为不同的布局,SmartArt图形将试图保留这些自定义设置。我建议保存你的自定义设置,这让你有了灵活性,确保图形表达你想要的东西。万一你发现你走得太远,总是有个重设图形按钮在设计页上带你回到愉快的地方。
SmartArt Graphics gives you the tools to quickly and effectively communicate your message with formatting options that ensure a professional and unique result. SmartArt图形给你提供了工具,快速有效地用格式选项交流你的信息,确保专业而独特的结果。 Published Tuesday, May 16, 2006 8:44 AM by David Gainer Filed Under: Integration With Word and PowerPoint, SmartArt
