How do I change the line widths used for the coordinate axes and/or the grid?

 

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Line widths used for the coordinate axes (or box around the plot) and for the grid lines may be changed with the LineWidth macro command.

 

The following example sets the line width for the coordinate axis to 20:

Dummy=FNDplot_send_cmd("[LineWidth(-1,20)]")

 

The next example sets the line width for grid lines to 10.

Dummy=FNDplot_send_cmd("[LineWidth(0,10)]")

 

 

Modifying other parameters

Axis colour:

Set major grid line type to 1 (normal line):

  Dummy=FNDplot_send_cmd("[AxisColor(128,128,128)]")

 

Number of ticks for X/Y/Z axis

Number of tick marks for X axis = 8:

  Dummy=FNDplot_send_cmd("[NumTicks(1,8)]")

Number of tick marks for Y axis = 5:

  Dummy=FNDplot_send_cmd("[NumTicks(1,,5)]")

Number of tick marks for X axis = 6, Y axis = 10:

  Dummy=FNDplot_send_cmd("[NumTicks(1,6,10)]")

Number of tick marks for Z axis = 7:

   Dummy=FNDplot_send_cmd("[NumTicks(1,,,7)]")

 

Major and minor grid lines:

Set major grid line type to 1 (normal line):

  Dummy=FNDplot_send_cmd("[GridLineType(1,1)]")

 

Set minor grid line type to 3 (dotted line):

  Dummy=FNDplot_send_cmd("[GridLineType(2,3)]")

 

Dense grid lines every 3 tick marks in X direction and every 10 tick marks in Y direction:

  Dummy=FNDplot_send_cmd("[DenseGridLines(3,10)]")
