than end point.
N e g a t i v e t i c i n t e r v a l r e s u l t s i n:

s p e c i f i e d .
All labels are lettered according to current character size
(csiz) statement and in current number format (fixed or float
statement).
Example:
fxd 0
x a x 0, 1, -10, 2
fxd 1
yax 0 ,
-.5,
8,
-8,
1
Above program results in X- and Y-axes being drawn, crossing
a t c e n t e r.
X-axis goes from -10 to 10 with tic marks at every
one unit and labeled every two units:
- 1 0 , - 8 , - 6 , e t c.
Y-axis ranges from -8.0 to +8.0 with tic marks every half-
u n i t .
