Hi,
I have an X, Y graph say X = -20 to 120 and Y = -20 to 120. I want to keep the axes and tcks at Y=0 and X=0 respectively but would also like to keep the original position of the axis labels (XB and YL) such that they are always out of the graph 'frame'.
Create a 2D graph layer with the x-axis at bottom and y-axis at left Set the x-range .. layer.x.from=-20 .. layer.x.to=120 Set the y-range .. layer.y.from=-20 .. layer.y.to=120 From the menu select Format - Axes - X Axis to open the layer axes dialog box
Click on Title & Format Tab. Select the bottom Axis by clicking on the Bottom icon Click on GridLines Check the Opposite check box in the Additional lines group
Click on Title & Format Tab. Select the Top Axis by clicking on the Top icon Check the Show Axis & Ticks Check box Set Major Ticks to In & Out Set Minor ticks to In & Out Set Axis Position to "At Position =" Enter 0 in the Percent/Value Edit box
Click on Title & Format Tab. Select the Left Axis by clicking on the Left icon Click on GridLines Check the Opposite check box in the Additional lines group
Click on Title & Format Tab. Select the Right Axis by clicking on the Right icon Checj the Show Axis & Ticks Check box Set Major Ticks to In & Out Set Minor ticks to In & Out Set Axis Position to "At Position =" Enter 0 in the Percent/Value Edit box
Not quite what I wanted thanks. Another way to put it is that I get eaxctly what I want by setting both x and y axis position to = 0. The only problem then is that both labels are moved despite setting the labels to be linked to page. It appears that the linnking to layer is reassigned. - I'd suggest that this is a bug. It is only the original position of the labels that I want retained.
