One
axis with a single scale |
Use this option if you want to show the values from a single column on the Y-axis, or if you have multiple columns that can be presented using the same scale. |
Multiple
scales |
Use this option to show two Y-axes (left and right) with two or more different scales. For example, use it if you want to display two columns of very different magnitudes in the same visualization. |
Range |
|
Min |
Determines the lower value of the axis range. Leave the field blank to automatically adjust the range to the currently lowest value in the filtered data. |
Max |
Determines the upper value of the axis range. Leave the field blank to automatically adjust the range to the currently highest value 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 columns 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 the interesting segments of the line chart. |
Show gridlines |
Specifies whether or not horizontal gridlines should be visible. |
Scale
labels |
|
Show
labels |
Specifies whether or not scale labels should be visible. |
Horizontally |
Shows scale labels horizontally. |
Vertically |
Shows scale labels 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. |
Scale |
|
Log
scale |
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. |
Multiple scales

Individual
scaling |
|
For
each color |
Use this option to display one scale for each category used to color the markers by. For example, if you put two different columns on the Y-axis (like Oil Production and BNP), you can use the "(Column Names)" option to color by and click this radio button to display one scale for Oil Production and one for BNP. Do not use this option if you need to color by a large number of different categories. Note that you should apply true categorical coloring before using this option. If you use a continuous column on the color axis, you may end up with a different result than the expected. This applies even if the continuous color mode looks "categorical" at first sight. |
For
each trellis panel |
Use this option to display one scale for each trellis panel. |
For each line |
Use this option to display individual scales for each line defined by the "Line by" and/or the "Color by" settings. The lines will be normalized so that all lines are shown on a scale with the maximum value for each line set to 100% and the minimum value for each line set to 0%. |
Zoom |

Shows a zoom slider that you can manually manipulate to view only the interesting segments of the line chart. |
Show

Specifies whether or not horizontal gridlines should be visible. |
Scale
labels |
|
Show
labels |
Specifies whether or not scale labels should be visible. The scale labels are always displayed horizontally when multiple scales are shown. |
Horizontally |
Shows scale labels horizontally. Note: Only available for individual scaling for each trellis panel. |
Vertically |
Shows scale labels vertically. Note: Only available for individual scaling for each trellis panel. |
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. |

[Drop-down list] |
Select the scale for which you wish to change the settings. Select All scales to change settings for all scales simultaneously. |
Scale
Range... |
Opens the Scale Range dialog where you can specify the range of the selected scale, and also determine whether or not to include the origin (0,0). |
Position |
Specifies which side of the visualization the scales should be positioned. |
Left
Y-axis |
Select this option to place the selected scale on the left-hand side of the visualization. |
Right
Y-axis |
Select this option to place the selected scale on the right-hand side of the visualization. |
Log
scale |
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. |
