Input
GraphPage
| <active>
| Specifies the graph to manipulate.
|
| Layer
| layer
|
Input
string
| <active>
| Specifies the layer(s) to manipulate. Note: to specify multiple layers, use colon to separate the first layer and the last layer to manipulate. For example, "1:3" means the first, second and the third layer.

| Axis
| axis

Input
int
| 0
| Specifies the axis whose scale is to be set.
Option list:
- X axis.
- Y axis.
- Z axis.

Input
double
| <auto>
| Specifies the first scale value.
|
| To
| to
|
Input
double
| <auto>
| Specifies the last scale value.
|
| Increment
| inc
|
Input
double
| <auto>
| Specifies the increment of scale.
|
| Scale Type
| type
|
Input
int
| <auto>
| Specifies the scale type.
Option list:
- Keep the current scale type.
- Standard linear scale: X'=X.
- Base 10 logarithmic scale: X'=log(X).
- Represents the inverse of a cumulative Gaussian distribution. Plotting a cumulative Gaussian distribution produces a sigmoidally-shaped curve. This curve, when displayed on a probability scale, appears as a straight line. Since probabilities are expressed as percentages, all values must fall between 0 and 100. The probability scale range is 0.0001 to 99.999.
- Like the probability scale, a sigmoidally-shaped curve plots as a straight line. In this case, however, the scale is linear, and the increment between tick marks is exactly one standard deviation. The value "5" on the scale shows the mean, or 50% probability. "6" is one standard deviation away, etc.
- Reciprocal scale, where X'=1/X.
- Offset reciprocal scale, where X'=1/(X+offset). Offset is defined as 273.14, where 273.14 is the absolute temperature for 0° C.
- Logit=ln(Y/(100-Y)). As with the probability and probit scales, a sigmoidally shaped curve plots as a straight line.
- Natural log scale (base e logarithmic scale).
- Base 2 logarithmic scale.
