Adding boxes to text
To emphasize text in a chart, you can frame it with a box. For example, you can place a box around a legend or a title, and you can customize it by adding a border and changing the border’s style, width, and color.
You can also add a shadow to a box to create the illusion of depth, and you can customize the shadow’s direction and color.
