@X_AXIS_MODE (X-Axis Mode)

This macro can be used to define an X-axis on a bar, line, or area chart that covers a specific range. It is specifically useful in a chart where the data is incomplete (i.e., it includes some but not all entries for a specified range). For example, the data may include entries for days 2, 3, 5, 14, 19, 20, and 30 in a given month. When this macro is not used, the chart will show seven group labels (2, 3, 5, 14, 19, 20, 30). If this macro is used to define groups 1 through 30, the chart will show 30 group/day labels with the seven defined groups/values in the correct position for each day.

SYNTAX:

@X_AXIS_MODE nMode nStart nStop

PARAMETERS:

nMode; 0

nStart; Starting group label string

nStop; Ending group label string.

PERSISTENT:

NO

NOTES:

• Label strings must be digits (e.g., 1999, 2000, 2001, etc.) that can be converted to integer values. Future releases will support time labels (e.g., 8:00am), month-day labels (e.g., June 1, June 2) and day-of-week labels (e.g., Monday, Tuesday).

• This macro will not work if group labels are aliased with the @AGL macro.
