Create sphere/ball graph

[Dick]

May I ask about how to draw a sphere/ball shape graph in powerpoint? I try
to draw a circle and then incorporate with 3-D style. But the result seems
could not match my requirement to become a sphere/ball. Please teach me how
to do so. I need to answer quite urgent. Thank you for your kind attention.

Dick,
You will need an image editor like PhotoShop and then import into
PowerPoint. Or use the PPT add-in Perspector http://www.perspector.com

I think to draw a sphere, you need shadowing. You can find such graphics
from Microsoft online. I have some. If you want, I can e-mail 1 to you.

Hi,

You could try a 3d ball. Look for Bubble chart.

Hi Luc,

I just thought of this. I did a sphere in Perspector, saved it as an image,
and made it the picture fill of the bubble chart. Cool!

My PowerPoint version is 2000, what is a bubble chart?? Do you have any
sample could give me?? Or any relevant website I could go?

 

[Dick]

Thank you very much, Luc... but version of Perspector is trial version. Any
restriction when using it?

I have another question about Perspector. Will those objects I created
within the trial period have impact after the expiry of Perspector? Or it
just affect on the newly create object after the software expiry?

Hi Dick,
Images created within the trial period of Perspector v2.3 will not be
automatically affected when the trial period ends, so you can safely
create your sphere images now to use later. If you edit an image after
the trial period expires (or create new images), then a Perspector
watermark will be displayed on that image.

If you haven't already tried it, you can do more to your sphere in
Perspector by adjusting lighting (Frame menu) and the shininess
(Drawing toolbar) of the sphere. You can also use a picture fill
(Drawing toolbar) to use an image to apply a texture to the sphere.

Regard,
