Workframe - Text X / Text Y tabs

Used to specify parameters for the axes names can be made separately for x- and y-axis.

SettingDescription
Layout
  • 12 Numerical / AB Alphabetical – Choose the axis name type that describes the numbering format for axes. The designations may either be numerical (123) or alphanumerical (ABC).
  • Text, Circle... – Defines the axis description label format. Here you specify the depiction of the text. The text can either be displayed just as it is or with the selected border. If you have selected cell depiction, you may use an own text design.
  • Connection Line – A line is drawn from the corresponding edge of the work frame to the text.
Values group
  • Start Value – Indicates the start of automatic axes names.
  • Size – The text size is specified. At cells it is defined by the attribute size.
  • Scale – You can enter a scale for the cells.
  • Distance – Indicates the distance of the text to the edge of the work frame.
  • Main Axis – When several work frames are involved, you can here enter the name of the main work frame, if the current frame is rather considered to be a subordinate frame. It can also be used as prefix.
  • Ignore Last Axis – When frames are used, the axes names can overlap. This option suppresses the display of the last axis.
  • Avoid O and I – When alphanumerical axes names are used, you can refrain from using I and O to avoid any possibility of confusion.
  • Suppress 1st Axis – When frames are used, the axes names can overlap. This option suppresses the display of the first axis.
Position group
  • Descending – Normally, axis labeling is effected in increasing order, e. g. 1, 2, 3, etc. This option has the opposite effect.
  • Back / Left – The axes can be attached either in front or at the rear, or on the left or on the right.
Options group
  • 2 Lines – Main and subordinate axes are displayed in 2 lines.
  • Dynamic – The axes names are always adapted to the corresponding view direction. Thus, a good readability will be guaranteed at any time.
  • Axis Gap – Here, the distance of the actual grid to the connection line of axis name is indicated.
Note: This entry is only displayed if you edit the grid in a 2D detail.
Edit Individual Axis Names Click on this button to edit the different grid axes individually.
The Insert dialog is used to enter the name and the main axis for each single axis. In addition, you can specify whether the axis name has to be overwritten manually (manual) and whether this axis has to be displayed (invisible).

Double-clicking in the first two columns switches the entries (X mark). The entries of the last two columns can be edited by double-clicking.
