The axis parameters can be changed in the formatting dialogs for each plot, as described for histogram overlays and 2D plot overlays. You can also change the parameters of the base overlay on each plot using the keyboard or the mouse.
Note: For either of these methods to work, you must make sure that the plot is in edit mode.
• | Keyboard |
To change the parameter displayed on the x-axis with the keyboard, press the number corresponding to the parameter you want to display (e.g., press 3 to view parameter 3). To change the parameter displayed on the y-axis of a 2D plot, simultaneously press the Ctrl key and the number corresponding to the parameter to display.
• | Mouse |
To change the parameter of an axis with the mouse (the x-axis on a histogram, either axis on a 2D plot), hover the mouse cursor over the axis label so that it changes to the shape of a hand. When the hand appears, press and hold the mouse button and a pop-up menu will appear containing the available parameters (if you have set the Alt+Click Required To Change Parameters option, you will also have to press the Alt key while clicking). While holding the mouse button down, move the cursor over the new parameter in the list and release the mouse button. If you do not wish to change the parameter after the list has appeared, simply move the cursor anywhere outside the list and release the mouse button.
