Autoscale on some plots only

[Snamprogetti]

On charts with multiple plots, i'd like to scale the Y axis only respect to one or more of the plots, so that those plots are "focused" while others may get out of sight.

I can do it by manually setting YScale.Maximum and YScale.Minimum, but then i waste the "loose fit" capability. I could calculate manually a loose fit too, but the thingy is getting a bit complicated... Is there a better method?

Hi

You can achieve this by setting up two or more Y scales, right click on the original scale and select Duplicate Scale. Now show the plot legend and the scale legend and you can set one scale to auto scale and not the other. You then need to right click on each plot in the plot legent to select which scale to send each plot to.

This can also be done with property nodes.

Thanks! Then i set the second scale's style to invisible, et voilà

Hi,


You can set the active scale, and then auto scale it with property nodes.


First you have to make a Y Scale for each kind of behaviour you want. In the legend, select for each plot which scale it uses. (You can do this with properties).


From the diagram use "Active Y Scale" to set the scale you want to change.


Then use "Y Scale>Scale Fit" to change the behaviour. The help will tell you how to use it.


Regards,


Wiebe.
