Coords 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.

Axes 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.

Labels

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

The Grid Configuration

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

No Grid

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 Grid

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.

The Fonts Configuration

Header table sets the font for the information table shown in KmPlot printouts, and Axes labels sets the font used for all labels on the axes in the plot area.
