Changing the Scale
Changing the Scale
Changing the scale of a graph can make its data more distinct and accessible. To
change the scale on a two-axis plot or a bar graph, use the SCALE-FROM and
SCALE-TO plot attributes of the SET PLOT or LIST PLOT command.
The default scale is 0 to 100. To plot values larger than 100, you must change the
scale default. The minimum and maximum data values shown in each plot appear
following each graph. These values can help you select different scale values.
By default, the time intervals on the Y-axis of two-axis plots are the collection intervals.
To change the time interval, use the INTERVAL clause of the LIST PLOT command. To
change the beginning or ending times of the time axis, use the FROM and TO clauses
of the LIST PLOT command. See
shows a two-axis plot of CPU-BUSY-TIME for the five busiest CPUs on
the system. These CPUs were identified by listing all 12 CPUs by CPU-BUSY-TIME,
then adding each of the top five CPUs to the plot definition.
uses the minimum and maximum values listed following the graph in
to change the report window. The plot is scaled from 5 to 70 rather than
from 0 to 100.
