xax/yax - C o n t
Start point and end point parameters specify location of
endpoints of axis.
If end point is not specified, axis is
d r a w n to P2 coordinate (i.e., XP2 for X-axis and YP2 for 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 . ,

point parameters and sign of tic interval parameter.
Positive tic interval results in:
Normal tic spacing if start point is less than end 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

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
on axis will be labeled. 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 . N e g a t i v e parameter
will result in only labels being lettered without axis or tic
m a r k s being drawn.
Labels will be lettered on an axis only if
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).
