You can customize overlay charts in a variety of ways:
Use the View menu in the overlay chart window to switch among several graphic and numeric views.
Use the Overlay menu to add additional forecasts to the chart or remove them all and toggle between the default view and Goodness Of Fit view.
Use Preferences, then Overlay to choose a view, determine when the overlay chart window should be displayed, and specify whether to fit distributions to all forecasts (described in Using Distribution Fitting with Overlay Charts).
Use Preferences, then Chart Preferences to further customize the chart’s appearance as described in Setting Chart Preferences.
Customizing overlay charts helps you compare forecasts by viewing their differences in several ways. For example, the area and column chart types might obscure parts of some distributions behind other distributions, but the outline and line chart types show virtually all of each distribution. For best display of many types of data, you can choose 3D view and then rotate the chart as shown in Figure 40, A Rotated and Stretched Overlay Chart.
