Statement
Start point and end point parameters specify location of
xax/yax - Cont
endpoints of axis. If end point is not specified, axis is
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 p1 to X p2 for X-axis and Y p1 to Y p2 for Y-axis).

p o i n t p a r a m e t e r s a n d s i g n o f t i c interval parameter.
Positive tic interval results in:
N o r m a l t i c s p a c i n g i f s t a r t p o in t i s l e s s t h a n e n d p o i n t .
Tic mark drawn only at start point if start point is greater
t h a n end point.
Negative
tic
interval
results
in:
Normal tic spacing if start point is greater than end point.
Tic mark drawn only at start point if start point is less
t h a n end point.
N u m b e r tics/label parameter determines whether or not tic marks
o n a x i s w i l l b e l a b e l e d . Specifying either 0 or no parameter
results in no labels.
If labels are desired, parameter speci-
f i e s n u m b e r o f t i c m a r k s b e t w e e n l a b e l s . Negative parameter
will result in only labels being lettered without axis or tic
Labels will be lettered on an axis only if
m a r k s being drawn.
non-zero tic parameter is specified.
All labels are lettered according to current character size
(csiz) statement and in current number format (fixed or float
statement).
