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 on the following page)

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. For scatter charts, both axes are value axes. For 3D charts, the X and Y axes

are the same as their 2D counterparts.

Pop-up menus are pictured on the following page as they appear when a column

chart is selected.

To place grid labels and tick marks along an axis:

Select the chart.
