Chose the Scaling tab from the Graphing Options screen to set up parameters
used to space data on the x and y axes of the display. Choose the Y-Axis tab to
customize the axis on the left side of the screen. Choose the X-Axis tab to
customize the axis on the bottom of the screen.
With the Scaling Option section you choose the method used for determining
the maximum and minimum values on the current axis as well as whether to
use linear scaling (equal interval scaling) or logarithmic scaling. Maximum
and minimum values can be chosen automatically depending on the data set
currently displayed, or the user can specify what the maximum and minimum
values should be.
If the Automatic option is selected, the maximum and minimum values on the
scale will be automatically chosen each time the screen is drawn. Set the
values in the input boxes of the Custom Limits section to use a scale with
user-configurable maximum and minimum values. Choose the Logarithmic
check box to use a logarithmic scale for the current axis.
When using logarithmic scaling, the minimum value may not be NOTE
zero or less than zero.
