Scale Y axis

Post by SchlaudiaKiffer »

I know that i can scale the vertiakl axis by holding ctrl and scrolling mouse-wheel. Unfortunately it is not possible to set min/max of the axis manually. I need this feature in order to better compare different groups.

Can someone help me? is this feature implemented already? I bought the professional version yesterday.

Best regards

Hello and thank you for you feedback! This feature has been requested several times (see for example viewtopic.php?t=125), so it's definitely high up on my list and I'll make sure to include it in the next major release. I hope to be able to release it within the next few months, but since I also have a day job to take care of, I can't predict it exactly.

In the meantime, note that you can also set the vertical zoom with the Zoom tool, which gives you a little more control.

Best regards,
Gustaf

My workaround is to add a top and bottom constant:
Flow_Y_Borders.png
Flow_Y_Borders.png (19.07 KiB) Viewed 1054 times

But this only works if your data has only smaller values than your Y-axis borders.
And we can't reuse formulas in multiple groups, so you have to make new ones for each group.
I recommend to make them dependent on each other, so when you want to change it, you only have to do it in one spot.

Thanks for the tip - I hadn't thought of that workaround!

Thank you,
the method with constants is very helpful for fast changing y-axis scaling. My solution for now is programmytically. While i collect my data in an csv file, I always insert 2 rows, after the header, which defines my min/max values for each column.

Best regards
