Scale Overview
examples      see also 

Scale elements provide important points of reference for your data. Each scale consists of an axis line, an axis label, tick marks, and tick labels, although you may not display all these components. Available scale items vary depending on:

·    The type of graph. Time series plots, probability plots, and others contain specialized scale items.

·    Whether the graph scales are continuous or categorical.

After creating the graph, you can:

·    Change the attributes of any of the scale items (see Scale Editing Overview).

·    Add scale items (see Adding a Graph Element).
