Placing Grid Labels and Tick Marks
The X-Axis and Y-Axis pop-up menus in the Axis pane of the Chart Inspector provide
an array of options for placing tick marks, labels, and gridlines along the value axis or
the series axis. The options in these pop-up menus (pictured below) vary depending
on the kind of chart you select.
For vertical bar charts (column charts), line charts, and area charts, the Y-axis is the
value axis and the X-axis is the series axis; for horizontal bar charts, the X-axis is the
value axis. Pop-up menus are pictured below as they appear when a column chart is
selected.
To place grid labels and tick marks along an axis:
1 Select the chart.
2 In the Chart Inspector, click the Axis button if it is not already selected.
3 To add grid labels and tick marks along the series axis, choose an option from the X-
Axis pop-up menu. (For horizontal bar charts, choose from among these same options
in the Y-Axis pop-up menu.)
