Unique, non-Excel looking charts?

[mariatorres1983]

Hi guys. I have a typical scatter plot, but I want to make it loo
unique, like it wasn't made with Excel. Why? Because I've been doin
this for years and I'm tired of the stock features, but I lack i
creativity. I've changed the font and removed the background color. I
any of you have ideas or suggestions, please let me know. Bu
seriously, if you have links or files you could send to show, tha
illustrate creative graphs made with Excel, I'd be so grateful
Thanks,
Mari

Hi
you may consider using a specific addin for this kind of 'unique'
charts. e.g. have a look at
http://www.crystalgraphics.com/presentations/charts.main.asp
there are of course other vendors for this kind of add-ins - just to
give you an example (try Google to find more vendors)

Just for the hell of it, why not take a look at hypocycloid charts on John
Walkenbach's site
