These properties determine the minimum and maximum values on the X-, Y-
and Z-axis respectively. If the properties X Scaling, Y Scaling and Z
Scaling are set to Automatic, the minimum and maximum values will be
adjusted automatically to match the data shown.
X Scaling, Y Scaling, Z Scaling
These properties can be either Automatic or Manual, with Automatic being
the default setting. When scaling is set to Automatic, the minimum and
maximum values of the axis in question will be automatically adjusted
according to the data, while Manual scaling, means that the user specifies
minimum and maximum-values manually.
The default setting Automatic ensures that all samples are included in the
initial plot, while subsequently the user can zoom in on areas of specific
interest by switching to manual scaling. Whenever the user changes a
minimum or maximum value manually, the scaling of the corresponding axis
will switch to Manual.
X Axis Logarithmic & Y Axis Logarithmic
These properties can be either Yes/On or No/Off, with No/Off being the
default setting. As the name implies, these properties determines whether the
corresponding axis should be logarithmic or linear.
Only positive values can be plotted on a logarithmic axis, and consequently
negative values will be ignored.
The Vector Plot does not have these properties.
Transpose
This property is only available for Profile Plot. It can be either Yes/On or
No/Off, with No/Off being the default setting.
When active, Transpose swaps the X and Y axes of a profile plot. This may
be useful for aligning the plot with the physical experiment.
Example: a vertical velocity profile through a horizontal jet would default be
shown with the position as X axis and the velocity as Y axis (Figure 6-8),
but in the real world the traversing was along a vertical axis. In this case a
transposed plot is more intuitive (Figure 6-9).
