The Axes control () for the
plane plot window has five tabs.
Coords tab of plane axes control
The Coords tab controls the axis coordinates. It has the following options:
Range tab of plane axes control
The Range tab provides manual configuration of the visible range of the plot. Making changes to this tab will reset the visible plot range, but not vice versa - zooming and panning in the usual way will not change the settings of this panel.
Filling in the Minimum/Maximum fields for either or both axes will constrain the corresponding range of the visible data. The limits corresponding to any of those fields that are left blank will initially be worked out from the data. The Subrange double-sliders restrict the ranges within the (explicit or automatic) min/max ranges. Note you can move both sliders at once by grabbing a position between the two.
The Clear button resets all the fields. The Submit button updates the plot with the current values in this tab, as does making any changes to it.
Grid tab of plane axes control
The Grid tab configures appearance of the axis grid.
Labels tab of plane axes control
The Labels tab controls the text labels on the axes. If the Auto checkbox is set, the text will be taken from one of the data coordinates being plotted on that axis. To override those with your own axis labels, unset Auto and type text in to the Label fields.
Font tab of plane axes control
The Font tab configures the font used for axis annotation. It also affects some other things like the legend.
