SCALES command
Syntax: |
SCALES { minx maxx nlxinc miny maxy nlyinc }
|
Qualifiers: |
\COMMENSURATE
|
Defaults: |
|
The SCALES
command turns off the autoscaling feature, as set by the
AUTOSCALE
characteristic, and sets the graph scales for subsequent graphs as follows:
minx |
- | minimum value to display on the x-axis |
maxx |
- | maximum value to display on the x-axis |
nlxinc |
- | number of large (numbered) tic marks on the x-axis |
miny |
- | minimum value to display on the y-axis |
maxy |
- | maximum value to display on the y-axis |
nlyinc
| - | number of large (numbered) tic marks on the y-axis |
If no parameters are entered, the scales will be frozen at their current
values, and the current values of minx
, maxx
, nlxinc
,
miny
, maxy
, and nlyinc
will be displayed.
If four (4
) parameters are entered, the number of labeled tic
marks on the x and y-axes, that is, nlxinc
and
nlyinc
, default to zero (0
), which means the program will
choose "nice" numbers of increments.
