Location: Post page – xy plots panel
Use the Axis Scaling panel to modify plot axes. You can change the current plot, or select and change multiple plots, if you want to update axes information on several plots.
Use the Axis Scaling panel to:
| • | Alter an axis range by setting the minimum and maximum x and y values. |
| • | Change the frequency of the grid lines and labeling. |
| • | Select a plot and use the find curves function to reset the axes’ ranges to display all the curves on that plot. |
| • | Zoom in on an area of your plot or to zoom out on a plot with the circle zoom and zoom out functions. |
Any changes are made immediately to the current plot. If you want to update several plots with the same values, use the update function after you have made the desired changes to the current plot.
There are no subpanels on the Axis Scaling panel. All inputs and command buttons are located on the main panel.
