Multiple Axis Breaks
How to:
- Double click the axis you want to add breaks on to open Axis Dialog.
- In Breaks node in left panel, choose the Number of Breaks you want to put on the axis (up to 7 breaks each axis). They are uniformly distributed by default.
- Set break symbol size by Break Half Length.
- Modify each break's detailed setting, include Break From/To, Position, etc..
- You can also use Labtalk command to enable the axis breaks.
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| layer.x.breaks.enable = 1; | 1 to turn on axis breaks on x axis, 0 to turn it off. |
| layer.x.breaks.count = 2; | It means Number of Breaks = 2. |
| layer.x.break#.from = 5; | # could be numerical value. layer.x.break1.from=5 means Region From of the first break is 5. |
| layer.x.break#.to = 10; | # could be numerical value. layer.x.break1.to=10 means Region To of the first break is 10. |
Axis Break without Gap

 |
|
How to: If set break Region From and Region To to be the same value, there will be no gap on the graph. User can use this method to change axis scale. | |
Useful Axis Break Properties
Can use LabTalk command to modify the size of break gap. Both X/Y axis break would be effected by layer.x.breaks.gap
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| layer.x.breaks.gap = 100; | When value is bigger than 30, means percent of one percent of the axis length. In this case, total width 1% of axis length. |
| layer.x.breaks.gap = 15; | Value between 1-30 is used to expressed in 1/10 of major tick length. 15 means 1.5 times tick length. |
| layer.x.breaks.gap = 0; | No gap |
| layer.x.breaks.gap = -120; | When value is negative, means unit is in 1/10 of point size. -120 means the gap will have 12 point size. |
| layer.x.breaks.gap = 0/0; | Missing value means follow @AB |
| layer.x.breaks.size= 0; | Controls break symbol size. Setting to 0 will show no Break symbol on axis. |
| layer.x.breaks.enable=1 | Enable axis breaks |
| layer.x.breaks.count=2 | Number of Breaks =2 |
| layer.x.break1.from=15 | 1st break's From value |
| layer.x.break1.to=20 | 1st break's To value |
