|
|
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: the <b>Vertical/Horizontal Axis</b> tabs will be disabled for <b>Pie charts</b> since charts of this type have no axes.</p>
|
|
<p>The <b>Vertical Axis</b> tab allows you to change the parameters of the vertical axis also referred to as the values axis or y-axis which displays numeric values. Note that the vertical axis will be the category axis which displays text labels for the <b>Bar charts</b>, therefore in this case the <b>Vertical Axis</b> tab options will correspond to the ones described in the next section. For the <b>XY (Scatter) charts</b>, both axes are value axes.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The <b>Axis Options</b> section allows to set the following parameters:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Minimum Value</b> - is used to specify a lowest value displayed at the vertical axis start. The <b>Auto</b> option is selected by default, in this case the minimum value is calculated automatically depending on the selected data range. You can select the <b>Fixed</b> option from the drop-down list and specify a different value in the entry field on the right.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Maximum Value</b> - is used to specify a highest value displayed at the vertical axis end. The <b>Auto</b> option is selected by default, in this case the maximum value is calculated automatically depending on the selected data range. You can select the <b>Fixed</b> option from the drop-down list and specify a different value in the entry field on the right.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Axis Crosses</b> - is used to specify a point on the vertical axis where the horizontal axis should cross it. The <b>Auto</b> option is selected by default, in this case the axes intersection point value is calculated automatically depending on the selected data range. You can select the <b>Value</b> option from the drop-down list and specify a different value in the entry field on the right, or set the axes intersection point at the <b>Minimum/Maximum Value</b> on the vertical axis.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Display Units</b> - is used to determine a representation of the numeric values along the vertical axis. This option can be useful if you're working with great numbers and wish the values on the axis to be displayed in more compact and readable way (e.g. you can represent 50 000 as 50 by using the <b>Thousands</b> display units). Select desired units from the drop-down list: <b>Hundreds</b>, <b>Thousands</b>, <b>10 000</b>, <b>100 000</b>, <b>Millions</b>, <b>10 000 000</b>, <b>100 000 000</b>, <b>Billions</b>, <b>Trillions</b>, or choose the <b>None</b> option to return to the default units.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Values in reverse order</b> - is used to display values in an opposite direction. When the box is unchecked, the lowest value is at the bottom and the highest value is at the top of the axis. When the box is checked, the values are ordered from top to bottom.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The <b>Tick Options</b> section allows to adjust the appearance of tick marks on the vertical scale. Major tick marks are the larger scale divisions which can have labels displaying numeric values. Minor tick marks are the scale subdivisions which are placed between the major tick marks and have no labels. Tick marks also define where gridlines can be displayed, if the corresponding option is set at the <b>Layout</b> tab. The <b>Major/Minor Type</b> drop-down lists contain the following placement options:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>None</b> to not display major/minor tick marks,</li>
|
|
<li><b>Cross</b> to display major/minor tick marks on both sides of the axis,</li>
|
|
<li><b>In</b> to display major/minor tick marks inside the axis,</li>
|
|
<li><b>Out</b> to display major/minor tick marks outside the axis.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The <b>Label Options</b> section allows to adjust the appearance of major tick mark labels which display values. To specify a <b>Label Position</b> in regard to the vertical axis, select the necessary option from the drop-down list:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>None</b> to not display tick mark labels,</li>
|
|
<li><b>Low</b> to display tick mark labels to the left of the plot area,</li>
|

</li>
|
|
<li>The <b>Tick Options</b> section allows to adjust the appearance of tick marks on the horizontal scale. Major tick marks are the larger divisions which can have labels displaying category values. Minor tick marks are the smaller divisions which are placed between the major tick marks and have no labels. Tick marks also define where gridlines can be displayed, if the corresponding option is set at the <b>Layout</b> tab. You can adjust the following tick mark parameters:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Major/Minor Type</b> - is used to specify the following placement options: <b>None</b> to not display major/minor tick marks, <b>Cross</b> to display major/minor tick marks on both sides of the axis, <b>In</b> to display major/minor tick marks inside the axis, <b>Out</b> to display major/minor tick marks outside the axis.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Interval between Marks</b> - is used to specify how many categories should be displayed between two adjacent tick marks.</li>
|
|
</ul>

Select the necessary option from the drop-down list: <b>None</b> to not display category labels, <b>Low</b> to display category labels at the bottom of the plot area, <b>High</b> to display category labels at the top of the plot area, <b>Next to axis</b> to display category labels next to the axis.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Axis Label Distance</b> - is used to specify how closely the labels should be placed to the axis. You can specify the necessary value in the entry field. The more the value you set, the more the distance between the axis and labels is.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Interval between Labels</b> - is used to specify how often the labels should be displayed. The <b>Auto</b> option is selected by default, in this case labels are displayed for every category. You can select the <b>Manual</b> option from the drop-down list and specify the necessary value in the entry field on the right. For example, enter 2 to display labels for every other category etc.</li>
