Dimensions

Return to Plot Options Menu

Use the Dimensions menu option to set which variable is displayed on which axis. In certain plots, other global plot controls can also be set based on the plot variables.

The fields on the Dimensions tab show the short variable name. To see the long variable name, hover over the field value.

Some controls only appear for certain plots or with certain options selected.
