Start point and end point parameters specify location of
endpoints of axis .
I f e n d p o i n t i s n o t s p e c i f i e d , a x i s is
drawn to P2 coordinate (i.e., X P2 for X-axis and Y P2 for Y-
a x i s ) .
If both start point and end point parameters are not
specified, axis is drawn from P1 coordinate value to P2 coor-
dinate value, as specified by current scale statement (i.e.,

The following relationship exists between start point and end
point parameters and sign of tic interval parameter.
P o s i t i v e t i c i n t e r v a l r e s u l t s i n:
Normal tic spacing if start point is less than end point.
Tic mark drawn only at start point if start point
than end point.

Number tics/label parameter determines whether or not tic marks
on axis will be labeled.
