ESL Documentation

If the input data for the X axis or Y axis is greater than three digits and automatic scaling is used, ESL changes the axis title to reflect the scale used, unless you set GAutoXTitle or GAutoYTitle to false. When set to true, ESL overrides any string set for the GxTitle or GyTitle variable. For example, if the Y-axis input data is seven digits, the Y-axis title will read "MILLIONS," even if you specified another title for the GyTitle variable. The overriding strings are:

 

THOUSANDS        THOUSANDTHS 

MILLIONS                MILLIONTHS 

BILLIONS                BILLIONTHS 

TRILLIONS        TRILLIONTHS

 

If your numbers are greater than 100 trillions or smaller than trillionths, ESL will not override the GyTitle variable, but will simply scale the data. In this case, you should set GyTitle to reflect the scale change in the Y-axis title, or use manual scaling.

 

Set GAutoXTitle and/or GAutoYTitle to false if you want to use automatic scaling but set your own axis titles.

 

Be careful when disabling the automatic axes titling when the data is automatically scaled. The tick values may not seem to correspond correctly to the data when very high or very low data is being graphed. (Automatic scaling causes the graph to display the data in units such as thousands, thousandths, and so on.)

 

Note that GAxisTitleFont is assigned to both axes.
