Line Graph Trace Options—Y Axis

Scaling Option

Automatic Scaling

Configures the Y Axis to a linear scale. The maximum and minimum values will be automatically chosen based on the maximum and minimum data values in the graph.

Use Custom Limits

Allows the user to set the maximum and minimum values in the Custom Limits fields.

Logarithmic Scale

Configures the Y Axis to a logarithmic scale. Logarithmic Scale can be used with either Automatic Scaling or Use Custom Limits.

Note that this option is not available if the trace has any negative values within the Graph Width. If Logarithmic Scale is selected and the graph is then scrolled such that there is at least one negative value within the Graph Width, the Logarithmic Scale will be automatically disabled.

Custom Limits
