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.

In the Chart Inspector, click the Axis button if it is not already selected.

Axis pop-up menu. (For horizontal bar charts, choose from among these same options

in the Y-Axis pop-up menu.)
