Style

String List: Select display style for axes. Choose from these values:

Default = At Dataspace Minimum

STYLE

0 (None)

3 (Crosshairs)

Lock to Data

Boolean: Locks axis (axes) to data.

Default = False

DATA_POSITION

0 (False)

1 (True)

Transparency

Number: Adjusts transparency of axis (axes).

Default = 0

TRANSPARENCY

Integer from 0 to 100.

Color

Color: Color to be used for the axis lines in this visualization. Click to choose from the default color palette, or specify RGB values. Default = [0,0,0] (black)

COLOR

3D integer array of the form:

[R, G, B]

Each color value may range from 0 to 255.

Line style

Line Style: Style of the axis tick lines. Select a line style from the list. Default = (solid line)

GRIDSTYLE

An integer value specifying a predefined line style, or a two-element vector specifying a stippling pattern.

The predefined line styles are:

0 (Solid line--the default)

1 (Dotted)

2 (Dashed)

3 (Dash dot)

4 (Dash dot dot dot)

5 (Long dash)

6 (No line drawn)

To define your own stippling pattern, specify a two-element vector [repeat, bitmask], where repeat indicates the number of times consecutive runs of 1's or 0's in the bitmask should be repeated. (That is, if three consecutive 0's appear in the bitmask and the value of repeat is 2, the line will have six consecutive bits turned off.) The value of repeat must be in the range 1 <= repeat <= 255.

The bitmask indicates which pixels are drawn and which are not along the length of the line. Bitmask is most conveniently specified as a 16-bit hexadecimal value.

For example, LINESTYLE = [2, 'F0F0'X] describes a dashed line (8 bits on, 8 bits off, 8 bits on, 8 bits off).

Number: Relative length of minor tick marks for all axes from -1 (minor tick marks extend the length of major tick marks on left side of axes) to 1 (minor tick marks extend same length as major tick marks on right side of axes).
