Bar axis properties

All the settings for the axes of array bar charts are described here.

Bar axis properties 1:

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

Defines the name of the axes.

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-axis

Color (X)

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)

Axis inversion.

Linewidth (X)

Line width in pixels

Manual Max (X)

If Auto Scale is inactive, the maximum value can be edited directly.

Manual Min (X)

If Auto Scale is inactive, the minimum value can be edited directly.

Precision (X)

Here you can specify the number of significant digits for the axis labeling. It corresponds to the number of visible digits on the axis.

Scale Mode (X)

Two Auto Scale modes are available for selection. The default mode is AutoGrowOnly. This means the X-axis always scales to the historic maximum, until a rescale is carried out for the current view. Alternatively, select AutoGrowNShrink. This mode always automatically adjusts the maximum of the X-axis to the maximum in the current view (display width).

Show Title (X)

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

Title (X)

Here you can enter an X-axis label.

Visible (X)

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

X-Grid

Grid Color (X)

Color of the grid.

Grid Divisions (X)

Maximum number of subdivisions. If there is not enough space for the selected number of ticks, these are automatically reduced in the chart.
In the case of logarithmic scaling the number of ticks depends on the displayed range of values and can thus deviate from the settings.

Grid Linewidth (X)

Line width of the grid in pixels.

Subgrid Divisions (X)

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)

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

Use Subgrid (X)

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

Y-axis

Color (Y)

Color of the axis.

Inverted (Y)

Axis inversion.

Linewidth (Y)

Line width in pixels.

Logarithmic (Y)

Switches between logarithmic and linear scaling of the axes.

Manual Max (Y)

If Auto Scale is inactive, the maximum value can be edited directly.

Manual Min (Y)

If Auto Scale is inactive, the minimum value can be edited directly.

Precision (Y)

Here you can specify the number of significant digits for the axis labeling. It corresponds to the number of visible digits on the axis.

Scale Mode (Y)

Two Auto Scale Modes are available for selection. The default mode is AutoGrowOnly. This means the y-axis always scales to the historic maximum, until a rescale is carried out for the current view. Alternatively, AutoGrowNShrink can be selected. This mode always automatically adjusts the maximum of the y-axis to the maximum in the current view (display width).

Show Title (Y)

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

Title (Y)

Here you can enter an y-axis label.

Visible (Y)

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

Y-Grid

Grid Color (Y)

Color of the grid.

Grid Divisions (Y)

Maximum number of subdivisions. If there is not enough space for the selected number of ticks, these are automatically reduced in the chart.
In the case of logarithmic scaling the number of ticks depends on the displayed range of values and can thus deviate from the settings.

Grid Linewidth (Y)

Line width of the grid in pixels.

Subgrid Divisions (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 (Y)

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

Use Subgrid (Y)

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

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