Diagram=>X/Y/Z-Axis=>Parameters

Edits the value ranges and scale type of the axis in a selected diagram.

Type

Sets the scaling type. The following scaling types are available:

• Linear
• Logarithmic
• Square
• Date/Time
• Log: Label linear. For this type the axis is logarithmic scale with a linear labeling.

Example: 1 to 12 in steps of 2. The value of delta will be subtracted from the maximum value. The result would be the labels 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.

Note: Only a linear scale can be plotted in a 3D diagram.

Minimum, Maximum

Sets the range of each axis for the diagram.

Delta

Specifies the distance between the axis labels. Each label consists of a tick mark and the value of its position.

If an assigned dataset does not appear on the diagram, it probably lies outside of plot range. You can use the Autoscaling command to rescale the axis to fit the plot range to the assigned datasets.

To plot only a part of a dataset, reduce the plot range of the axes (Minimum and Maximum parameters) accordingly.

Minor Ticks

This function sets the number of tick marks to appear between the axis labels.

Descending

The scale of the axes can be reversed using this function.

Commas

Sets the number of decimal places for the number values of the axes.

Decimal, Exponential

This functions allows you to choose between a decimal or exponential format for the axis labels.

First Label, Last Label

Sets the value of the first and last labels. These values must lie between the minimum and maximum values you have already chosen.

Autoscaling

Allows you to rescale the range of the axes. This function adjusts the necessary ranges of the axis, to ensure that all datasets in the file can be fully plotted. In the 3D Plot, the 3D dataset will not automatically be clipped at the x- and y-axes. To plot the dataset correctly, use the Data=>Interpolation function after changes to the Min and Max parameters of the x- and y-axes have been made.

Comment

The scale type Log: Label linear has been introduced in UniPlot 4.2.2. Older UniPlot versions cannot display this scale type correctly.
