For three-dimensional line or ribbon charts, you can change the width of the ribbons.
To Change Line, Dot, or Ribbon Properties
A line or ribbon or dot set, or a selection of several lines or ribbons and dot sets, have properties that can be changed, as long as the property is not controlled by the data.
Select one or more lines, ribbons, or dot sets in a line, ribbon, or dot chart.

Pie Charts
9
What proportion does each group contribute to the total?Each slice of the pie belongs to a group defined by a category of a variable. The size of a slice is proportional to the frequency (count) of its group or to a function of a summary variable. For example, one pie chart shows the number of employees in each department, making it easy to compare relative department sizes. In another pie, each slice shows the sum of sales for individuals in a group. To compare separate categories, pie charts can be displayed separately in panels or stacked in a cluster. In a cluster, pies of different diameters are stacked to make comparison of slices easy. In another type of display, plotted pies, you can plot pies for subgroups defined by combinations of categories, using Cartesian coordinates (x and y axes) with a pie at each intersection of categories.

Figure 9-1 Create Simple Pie Chart: Assign Variables tab
A simple pie chart summarizes categories defined by a single variable or by a group of related variables. For each category, the size of each slice represents the count, the percentage, or a summary function of a variable. Selecting this effect from the drop-down list gives the pie depth.

To Create a Simple Pie Chart Sliced by a Categorical Variable
Drag a categorical variable to Slice By. [. . . ] By using the Browse button on Textures, you can insert any bitmap file as a texture. The bitmap should be square and sized to a number of pixels equal to a power of 2 (for example, 64 by 64 or 128 by 128). Otherwise, the program will clip the bitmap to the nearest lower power of 2.
To Change Fill Styles
Activate the chart (double-click it). When the Fill palette is displayed: Select the effect (pattern, gradient, or texture). [. . . ]
