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 any 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), move the mouse cursor over the axis label and click on the axis label. 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). From this pop-up menu, you may type in the empty field at the top or scroll through the list using the mouse scroll wheel or arrows in the pop-up menu (if more than 10 parameters are available). If you do not wish to change the parameter after the list has appeared, hit ESC on the keyboard or move the cursor anywhere outside the list and click.
