Option

Description

Columns

Settings...

Opens the Advanced Settings dialog where you can change the scale mode from categorical to continuous and vice versa, as well as changing the category mode to determine which combinations to show.

Range

   Min

Determines the lower value of the axis range. Leave the field blank to automatically adjust the range to the lowest value currently in the filtered data.

   Max

Determines the upper value of the axis range. Leave the field blank to automatically adjust the range to the highest value currently in the filtered data.

   Set to Current Range

Allows you to set the axis range to the currently filtered values.

   Include origin

Available for continuous axes only. Always includes the coordinates (0, 0) in the visualization, regardless of filtering.

   Show zoom slider

Shows a zoom slider that you can manually manipulate to view only those parts of the combination chart you are interested in.

   Show gridlines

Specifies whether or not vertical gridlines should be visible.

Scale labels

   Show labels

      Horizontally

Shows scale labels horizontally.

      Vertically

   Max number of labels

Select the check box to specify a maximum number of scale labels to be shown. Limiting the number of labels can improve readability on axis scales with many values.

   Label Rendering...

[Only available when the selected column only can be categorical. For example, if the selected column is a string column or a binary column.]

Opens the Label Rendering dialog where you can change the rendering method of the axis labels from text to images in applicable cases.

Scale

   Log scale

Available for continuous axes only. Changes the scale from a linear scale to a logarithmic base 10 scale [log10 (x)].

   Reverse scale

Reverses the current sort order, so that the lowest value is displayed at the top of the scale.
