Alter Plot and Chart Appearances
Establish the Minimum and Maximum Axis Values
For plots and charts that contain a numeric axis area, you can change the minimum and maximum values
that you want the graph to display.
To change the minimum and maximum axis values while viewing a graph:
1. Double-click a numeric axis. Or, right-click and select Axis Settings. The axis specification window
appears.
2. Type in a value for the minimum and maximum values that you want the graph to display.
Note: To restore the default minimum and maximum axis settings of a numeric axis, right-click a numeric
axis and select Revert Axis.
3. (Optional) Select Reverse Order to reverse the axes by reversing the minimum and maximum values.
To set a default minimum and maximum axis value for a variable, which avoids making this change every
time you run an analysis, see “Axis” on page 155 in the “Set Column Properties” chapter.
The example on the right in Figure 9.21 is an enlargement of the point cluster that shows between 80 and
140 in the plot to the left. The enlarged plot is obtained by reassigning the maximum and minimum axis
values and changing the number of minor tick marks to 1. (See “Add Minor Tick Marks” on page 296, for
details.)

appears.

– Linear
