X- AND Y-AXES,
Draws X- or Y-axis with or without tic marks
xax/yax
or labels.
Syntax:
xax X-Offset [, Tic Interval [, Start Point [, End Point [,
Number Tics/Label]]]]
yax Y-Offset [, Tic Interval [, Start Point [, End Point [,
Number Tics/Label]]]]
X-Offset parameter specifies X-coordinate at which Y-axis will
cross X-axis.
Y-Offset parameter specifies Y-coordinate at which X-axis will
cross Y-axis.
Tic interval parameter specifies whether or not tic marks are
to be drawn along axis.
If tic marks are to be drawn, para-
meter value specifies spacing, in units of scale statement,
b e t w e e n t i c s . Value of 0 r e s u l t s i n n o t i c m a r k s .
If para-
m e t e r is not specified, tic mark is drawn at each end of axis
only.
Sign of tic interval can result in either normal tic marks
being drawn or tic mark drawn only at starting point of axis.
Start point and end point parameters specify location of
If end point is not specified, axis is
endpoints of axis.
d r a w n t o P 2 c o o r d i n a t e ( i . e . , X P2 f o r X - a x i s a n d Y P2 f o r Y -
axis).
If both start point and end point parameters are not
s p e c i f i e d , axis is drawn from P1 coordinate value to P2 coor-
dinate value, as specified by current scale statement (i.e.,
X P 1 t o XP 2 f o r X - a x i s a n d YP 1 t o YP 2 f o r Y - a x i s ) .
The following relationship exists between start point and end
point parameters and sign of tic interval parameter.
