You can adjust the following properties separately for x-axis and y-axis:
Show Grid Lines | Show or hide the light gray lines at the given grid step intervals in the diagram. |
Grid Step Interval | Interval used to label the steps between minimum and maximum value. The greater the interval, the less axis labels and grid lines are shown. If you leave the field empty, RTE automatically chooses a Grid Step Interval for you. For the x-axis, the usage of the Grid Step Interval depends on the chart type: For line charts, column charts, or any chart using text values on the x-axis, you can enter an integer number: 1 will display every single x-value, 2 will display every second x-value, 3 will display every third x-value, and so on. If you leave the field empty, and there are a lot of category values or x-values, only some of them will be shown as x-axis labels. For scatter charts or bubble charts using numeric x-axis labels, you can enter any decimal number as a Grid Step Interval. For charts using date/time values on the x-axis, we recommend leaving the Grid Step Interval empty and only adjusting the format of the x-axis labels (Label Expression for line or column charts, Format Code for scatter or bubble charts). |
Label Text Angle | Rotate the axis labels by the given angle. For example, if you show compound names on the x-axis, you may use an angle of -45°to improve the diagram. |
Minimum | Lowest value of the axis. Use the Expression Editor to enter either a static number or a dynamic expression. |
Maximum | Highest value of the axis. Use the Expression Editor to enter either a static number or a dynamic expression. |
Preview | Appearance of the currently selected settings. |
For the x-axis, you can only edit these fields if the chart is a scatter chart.
For the y-axis, you can either provide a specific value to set the axis limits (for example, Minimum = 0), or leave the fields empty. If the fields are empty, the y-axis is automatically scaled. Auto scaling also considers the settings on the Limit Lines page and Advanced page. The y-axis may even be extended below zero to show all statistical values.
