Control:

Default:

Purpose:

Enable Auto Rounding

Disabled

When checked, the Min and Max axis scales for all pens will be rounded.

Note:  Existing pens, and pens defined in Plot files will not inherit this setting.  It only applies to new Pens.

Round Intermediate Y-axis Labels

Disabled

Set the option if you wish all the Y-axis labels to be rounded, and not just the Min and Max scales.  This will ensure that all of the intermediates scales are set to 'nice' numbers.

Note:  Use of this setting can bias the scale range, as the range may be need to be offset in order to produce 'nice' intermediate values.

Max Lines

7

The maximum number of Y-axis Scale lines to display on a plot.  The count includes both the X-Axis and the top scale marker.  This setting allows the user to define a multiple that will provide suitable intermediate scale labels.

Tip:  The number of Scale lines can be overridden on a per plot basis.  See the Plot Properties Preferences tab for more information.

Note:  Should the plot size reduce to the point that the chosen setting no longer fits, the number of Scale lines will be automatically reduced (hence the fact it's a maximum).
