Graph control right-hand Y-axis tick marks look like negative signs

Hi,
The graph control right-hand Y-axis tick marks just to the left of the numeric values that make up the scale look like negative signs.  It gets confusing for the user of the software.
The left Y-axis is OK because the little tick marks are to the right of the number.
Any ideas on how to improve this situation?
Thanks,

Perry,
First of all thanks for looking at this.
The tick-marks controlled by the "Mark Origin" option are not the tick marks that are causing the problem.
The Mark Origin ticks are in the body of the graph along the x=0 and y=0 lines.  They only show up if those lines are visible such as if you have a graph with an x axis range of -100 to +100 and a y axis range of the same.
The ticks I'm referring to are just to the left of the numeric values that label the right axis.
Below is a screenshot to illustrate:
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Kirk

  • Script for overriding category axis tick marks in graphs?

    Hello!
    We are introducing a new graph design, but has a problem with not being able to override the tick marks in the category axis in Illustrator CS5.
    A typical graph (line layout) can have 250 observations, and since we have the tick marks on full width, the graph gets "crowded" with black lines.
    In the value axis there is possibilites for overriding the values, but not on the category axis.
    Is there any way to script so that the tick marks in the category axis can be reduced/overrided to e.g. 1 in 20?
    Please help!

    Script has NO access to live graph data… It can only break them… then fish in the group for bits…

  • Axis tick mark algorithm

    Hi all,
    I've been struggling trying to come up with a suitable algorithm for determining tick marks on an axis based on the range of values the axis should display.
    For example, if my initial data set contains the values
    [5,20,29,51,60,63,79,95]
    I can get the Range of 90
    I can specify I want, say, 5 tick marks on my axis, so my interval between marks is 90/5 = 18
    so I could create an axis with values displayed of 0,18,36,54,72,90
    but what I'd like to display here is 0,25,50,75,100 (ie more useful/readable values)
    the axis will also have to cope with floats and negative values, so my data set could be....
    [-5,-2.5,3.9,50.2, 80.9]
    and if I specified ten tick marks Id want output of something like:
    -10,0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80
    If anyone has any ideas or can point me towards some source which does this kind of calculation I'd be very grateful.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dylan

    In general, since the factor of 10 are 1,2 and 5, you want to place tic marks at units that are either 1, 2 or 5 "units" apart, where "unit" is some power of ten like .01, .1, 1, 10, 100 etc.
    Secondly, if your picture has 1000 tic marks, there will be too many of them. If there is only one tic mark, or maybe two, you havent given the person enough to look at.
    This argues that there should be some reasonable number of tic mark as a target that you are shooting for, like 10 or 20 or something like that.
    SO - given any range, that you want to cover, and given any "unit", and given any choice of multiplier (1, 2 or 5) you could calculate how many tics it would take to cover that range.
    Given a target number of tics that you think is optimal you should be able to very quickly find the unit and multiplier that gives you the optimal number of tics.
    For extra beauty, draw tics that land on multiples of 10 long, draw tics that land on multiples of 5 medium and draw ones that land on anything else short.
    Enjoy!

  • TS1398 I have a little symbol in the upper right side of my iPad that looks like a lock and now I cant get connected to the internet. Can anyone help me ( my granddaughter was playing on my iPad before this happened)

    I have a symbol in the upper right hand corner of my iPad that looks like a lock.  Now I am unable to connect to wifi.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button
    For the WiFi issue try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You can also power cycle your router, Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.

  • X-axis tick marks and labels

    Is there a way I can apply a vertical orientation to the x-axis labels on a chart?

    David,
    This is currently not an option within xMII.  The only workaround would be to butt a html table cell up to it and have the orientation go vertical for the words.

  • Quotation marks look like " " in one InDesign document

    At my job I am updating an old InDesign file in CS5 with new content. Whenever I press the " or ' I get >> or > (not exactly, but it's a symbol that looks very similar to  >> or >). I have never had this problem and can't understand why it is doing this. There is nothing else in the document that makes the wrong symbol when the key is pressed.
    I am using a Mac and none of that stereotypical IT advice helps (reset the computer, open and close the program, etc.)
    I also already went into preferences & selected typographer's quotes, then changed the quote settings in Preferences > Dictionary to be the correct typographer's quotes, but it makes no difference. I feel like this should have been the solution to the problem.
    Any ideas? I'm getting tired of making the proper quote mark in another document and copy-pasting it whenever I want to use one (the only thing that works).

    Never mind, I googled it based on M Blackburn's response and found the solution myself. I will now explain the solution in case anyone else who was wondering stumbles across this.
    The correct solution is:
    1. Select the text and go to the Character panel.
    2. In the Character panel at the bottom there is a drop down that is marked Language. If you have selected the text and the current selection of the dropdown is blank, it means there are multiple languages being used (in my case, somewhere in the document the original author of the document accidentally used French, I guess).
    3. Change the drop down to "English: USA".
    I had already changed the language and both the quote options in the Preferences > Dictionary section, and this didn't change anything. The French apparently overrides it.
    M Blackburn was right about it being French, but Bob Levine of course that's the solution... I wanted to know how to do it, and Jeffrey_Smith I said earlier that I already tried that. Please double-check your answers to make sure they are worthwhile!

  • A small symbol has come up on my i phone 4 left hand side of the battery. looks like a small padlock with an arrow going round it. i cannot seem to get rid of it? it was not there originally. i understand its the lock that stops the screen rotating.

    A small symbol has come up to the left of the battery symbol. i have found out that this is the screen rotation lock. not sure hoe this has been turned on and i cant seem to turn it off. I read that there is a button above the volume control on the i pad which turns it off, but this does not work on the i phone4?

    Try this:
    -double click the Home button: this will make the System Tray appear at the bottom of the screen.
    -if you do not see the screen orientation lock button then flick to the right: once you see the screen orientation lock button, just tap it. That will change it back.
    I hope this helps!

  • I have noticed a new icon at the right upper corner on my iPad. It looks like a lock with a circular arrow around it.

    I have noticed a new icon at the right upper corner on my iPad. It looks like a lock with a circular arrow around it. What does it mean?

    This is simply he rotation lock icon showing up. It means that your iPad 2 running iOS 5.5.1 is "locked" in either portrait or landscape mode. This restricts the screen from rotating when you tilt it. This feature can be very useful in certain cases. To disable this feature, simply double tap on the home button to access the multitasking menu. From there, swipe to the right and tap the icon that looks like a lock with a circle around it. Depending on the settings on your iPad, you may have to turn off rotation lock by flipping the switch directly above the volume switch into the opposite position as it is in now.  Hope this helped! Reply back if you have any further questions! It was my pleasure to help you today.

  • Axis marker setting of Graph control

    Hi, I want to set specific markers for the axis of graph control,  first, I try to use property node, but  I can't find appropriate property to set marker of axis;
    I am thinking the axis should looks like:
    X  Axis: 0(min), 90, 180, 270, 360;
    Y Axis: 0, 10, 40, 80, 120;
    Z Axis: 0, 5, 10, 25, 50;

    it seems the Increment setting can do that

  • Graph: Get Right Y-Axis value with GetGraphCursor

    Hello,
    I'm currently developing an application for a customer which contains data being evaluated in a graph control.
    There are different scalings of data so I use the left y-axis for digital data and right x-axis for analog data.
    Now I want to add an annotation marker with the current X and Y value being displayed, when the user clicks into the graph.
    I use those two functions to determine the position and affected plot of the marker:
     GetGraphCursor(tabHandle2, TABPANEL_2_GRAPH, 1, &x, &y);
     GetGraphCursorIndex(tabHandle2, TABPANEL_2_GRAPH, 1, &plotHandle, &plotIndex);
    Now this works fine for the left y-axis, but I can't seem to find a way to get the y-axis value of the right side plot.
    I figure plotHandle and plotIndex should help me to get this data, but sadly I don't know how to use this information.

    Ok to clarify:
    I have a graph with plot values on the left and right y axis. Some plots use the left and some the right side.
    On default there is no cursor in this graph. But I want to provide the option for the user to enable a cursor.
    When the cursor is enabled it snaps on to the closest plot and an annotation shows the respective x and y values of the plot point.
    The problem is, when the left y axis is active and the cursor snapped onto a right y axis plot, the displayed y value is wrong (since the left scale is used).
    By left clicking into the graph, the user is able to snap the cursor onto another plot.
    So the main problem is, when clicking on a plot, the active axis has to change according to the plots respective axis.
    I can easily make this decision since the plot styles are different (left side is VAL_FAT_STEP, right side is VAL_FAT_LINE), but for the axis switch to take effect on the cursor, I would need to delete and add the cursor again. But in this process I lose positioning of the cursor and it snaps to a different plot again.

  • Controling X Axis tick intervals

    I would like to control the X Axis tick intervals on a line graph. The data contains a set of values which range from 0 to 100 (a.k.a Exam Marks) and I would like to show 6 interval ticks from 1 to 100 e.g. 1-20-40-60-80-100. I can use the tickLabelSkipCount="1" tickLabelSkipFirst="1" attributes to show less ticks but I can't dictate where the ticks occur.
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <Graph version="3.2.0.22" markerTooltipType="MTT_NONE" graphType="AREA_VERT_ABS">
    <O1TickLabel tickLabelSkipMode="TLS_MANUAL" tickLabelSkipCount="1" tickLabelSkipFirst="1"/>
    <O1Title text="FInal Mark" visible="true"/>
    <Title text="Mark Distribution" visible="true"/>
    <Y1Title text="No of Students" visible="true"/>
    <X1Axis axisMinAutoScaled="false" axisMinValue="0" axisMaxAutoScaled="false" axisMaxValue="100" majorTickStepAutomatic="false" majorTickStep="10"/>
    </Graph>

  • How to add tick marks to all sides of graph

    Hi,
    I'm trying to format a graph in numbers and would like to know how to add tick marks to all axies on the graph, ie. top, bottom, left & right.
    I can get tick marks on the bottom and left axis, but can't seem to find a way to add them to the others.\
    Thanks,
    Oscar

    Hi Oscar,
    Numbers 2.3, but this will work in Numbers 3.0.1 with different Inspector choices.
    When in doubt, cheat! This will give a second Y axis. It is a 2-Axis Chart (the bottom one in this screen shot of Chart Types):
    Column C (Value 2) has dummy values copied from Column B (Value 1).
    Now hide the Column graph by selecting it and changing the fill to None. (Inspector > Graphic > Fill > None).
    Set gridlines, tick marks, hide Legend as you wish.
    To add a second X axis at the top, Chart Inspector won't do that. Insert Shapes and Text Boxes?
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How to get y axis value(in a numeric control) by providing x-axis value using wave graph

    Hi,
    I'm new here, Sorry if i have selected wrong Location.
    I want to get Y-axis value (in a numeric Control) by providing X-axis Value using Wave graph.
    i want to do calculations with the obtained value.
    i have attached File and Snapshot.

    Well, you are using the Dynamic Data Type, which I almost never use, but if you convert the data to a WaveForm (using From DDT on the Signal Manipulation Palette, which is a choice when you right-click on the DDT Wire), you should be able to do this.  Do you know about how Waveforms are stored?  They are a Cluster, with t0 being a TimeStamp for the start of the Waveform, dt being the time step, and Y being the samples.  So if you want a point at 0.5 seconds and dt is 0.001, you would pull out the point at Index 499 (offset 0) from the Y array.
