Coordinate System Configuration

The Axes Configuration

X-Axis

Sets the range for the x-axis scale. You can choose one of the predefined ranges, or select Custom to make your own. Note that in the Custom boxes, you can use the predefined functions and constants (see the section called “Predefined Function Names and Constants”) as the extremes of the range (e.g., set Min: to 2*pi). You can even use functions you have defined to set the extremes of the axis range. For example, if you have defined a function f(x)=x^2, you could set Min: to f(3), which would make the lower end of the range equal to 9.

Y-Axis

Sets the range for the y-axis. See “X-Axis” above.

Axis-line width:

Sets the width of the lines representing the axes.

Tic width:

Sets the width of the lines representing tics on the axes.

Tic length:

Sets the length of the lines representing tics on the axes.

Show labels

If checked, the names (x, y) of the axes are shown on the plot and the axes' tics are labeled.

Show extra frame

If checked, the plot area is framed by an extra line.

Show axes

If checked, the axes are visible.

Show arrows

If checked, the axes are displayed with arrows at their ends.

The Grid Configuration

You can set the Grid Style to one of four options:

None

No gridlines are drawn on the plot area

Lines

Straight lines form a grid of squares on the plot area.

Crosses

Crosses are drawn to indicate points where x and y have integer values (e.g., (1,1), (4,2) etc.).

Polar

Lines of constant radius and of constant angle are drawn on the plot area.

The Line width option is used to set the width of the lines of the grid.
