Options explained

Show x / y axis
Control each axis independently.
Minimum / Maximum
Set increasing finite bounds. Logarithmic axes require positive bounds within the supported range.
Axis title
A short plain-text label such as Time (s), up to 80 characters.
Scale
Linear or logarithmic base 10, independently for x and y. Nonpositive coordinates are not visible on log axes.
Tick labels
Choose numbers or multiples for linear axes.
Major tick spacing
Leave blank for Auto, or supply a supported number/ spacing. On log axes spacing is measured in decades.
Minor subdivisions
Choose none or 1–9 subdivisions between major ticks.
Show tick labels
Control the numbers on each axis independently.
Equal units / Lock viewport
Equal units is available for linear axes. Lock viewport prevents accidental camera movement.
