ScalingOptions
ScalingOptions ( axisIndex ; doReverseScaling ; useIntegersOnly ; hideZeroLabel )
| Argument | Type | Range | Default | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| axisIndex | int | 0..10000 | all | |
| doReverseScaling | int | 0..1 | off | |
| useIntegersOnly | int | 0..1 | off | |
| hideZeroLabel | int | 0..1 | off |
Examples
ScalingOptions(all;;on)
Description
By activating the 2nd argument doReverseScaling = on, the direction of the scaling can be reversed, i.e. the scaling of the x-axis no longer increases from left to right, but the other way around, from right to left; the y-axis correspondingly increases from top to bottom. For polar and radar charts the argument doReverseScaling is ignored.

By activating the 3rd argument useIntegersOnly = on, scaling values which are not whole numbers can be suppressed. This proves useful when depicting integral values, e.g. for frequency distributions. Example with useIntegersOnly = off:

If the 4th argument hideZeroLabel = on is set, the scaling label for the value 0 is hidden. Sometimes this has proven to be advantageous when the scaling labels are very close to each other at the point where the x and y-axis intersect.
