XY axis properties

Here you can implement separate settings for each available XY-axis.

XY axis properties 1:

AspectRatio

Aspect ratio scaling

Aspect ratio between the axes.

Keep aspect ratio

Enables the function to maintain the aspect ratio between the axes.

Reference Axis

Specifies the axis that defines the scaling.

Common

Canvas Color

Defines the color of the chart.

Comment

A free comment can be saved here.

Enabled

Here you can switch the axis on or off completely. This functionality is also available via the context menu.

Name

Specifies whether the name of the X-axis is shown in the chart.

Show Title

Determines which title is displayed above the chart. This function is only displayed if there is only one axis group, or if the axis groups are not stacked.

Hide: no title is displayed

Custom: the value from the 'Title' setting is displayed

Name: the name of the axis group is selected

X-Axis Title: the title of the X-axis is reused

Y-Axis Title: the title of the Y-axis is reused

First Channel: the name of the first channel is reused

Below that, all channels are listed in order to select them explicitly.

Title

If Shot Title is set to 'Custom', this title will be displayed above the chart.

(X/Y) Grid

Grid Color (X/Y)

Color of the grid.

Grid Divisions (X/Y)

Number of subdivisions.

Grid Linewidth (X/Y)

Line width of the grid in pixels.

Subgrid Divisions (X/Y)

Number of areas into which the main grid is subdivided by auxiliary lines.
In the case of logarithmic scaling the auxiliary lines for subdivision are shown only in the set number if the range of values per tick is precisely one decade. Otherwise the displayed auxiliary line shows the decades not displayed in the main grid.

Use Grid (X/Y)

The X-subdivisions of the axis can be shown or hidden here.

Use SubGrid (X/Y)

Auxiliary lines for the finer X-subdivision of the main grid can be shown or hidden here. Auxiliary lines have no axis labeling.

(X/Y)-Axis

Color (X/Y)

Color of the axis.

Color Mode (X/Y)

Defines which color is displayed at the axis.

Custom: the value from the 'Color Mode' setting is displayed

First Channel: the name of the first channel is reused

Below that, all channels are listed in order to select them explicitly.

Inverted (X/Y)

Inverts the direction of the axis.

Linewidth (X/Y)

Line width in pixels.

Logarithmic (X/Y)

Switches between logarithmic and linear scaling of the axes.

Manual Max (X/Y)

Maximum value for manual scaling.

Manual Min (X/Y)

Minimum value for manual scaling.

Precision (X/Y)

Here you can specify the number of significant digits for the axis labeling. Corresponds to the number of digits on the axis.

Scale Mode (X/Y)

Specifies the Scale Mode for the axis. There are three modes to choose from. In case of Manual, the range of the axis can be fixed. AutoGrowOnly automatically increases the area of the axis, if data points are out of range. AutoGrowNShrink further shrinks the range if extreme values in the data are no longer in the displayed time range.

Show Title (X/Y)

Determines which title is displayed on the axis

Hide: no title is displayed

Custom: the value from the 'Title (t/Y)' setting is displayed

Name of axisgroup: the name of the axis group is selected

First Channel: the name of the first channel is reused

All channels are listed below and a channel can be explicitly selected.

Show Unit (X/Y)

Determines whether the unit should also be displayed as an axis label.

Hide: No unit is displayed.

AllChannels: All units configured channels are displayed. If different units are used, the units are separated by a comma.

Title (X/Y)

Axis title.

Visible (X/Y)

Specifies whether the axis is shown or hidden in the chart.

To change the settings for several axes at the same time, please refer to the chapter Multiple selection.
