Surface Plot Setup: Grid Page

The Grid page allows you to customize the color, style and thickness of the grid lines and to set the number of axis divisions used.

The options on this page will vary depending on the plot style you are working with. All available options are presented below.

Axis Division Lines allows you to hide or show each of the axis division lines, as well as to choose a color, a thickness and a style for each.
- To show or hide a line, select or clear the associated check box.
- To change the color of any of the grid lines, click the Color box. The drop-down that appears allows you to choose from custom colors, web-safe colors or the colors used in the current Windows system settings. You can add colors to the Custom page by right-clicking one of the color boxes in the bottom two rows.
- You can adjust the thickness of a grid line by entering a positive integer in the input box. A value of 1 will draw the thinnest possible line and other values such as 2, 3, etc. will draw thicker lines. Note that the size of the thinnest possible line is dependent upon your screen resolution.
- In addition, you can change the style of each line by clicking the Line Style box to the right of the thickness box. A list providing line style options (e.g., solid, dashed, etc.) will appear. Choose the line style you want and it will appear in the box.
Number of Axis Divisions allows you to set the number of divisions for each axis. Note that these divisions may not be visible unless you select to display the division lines in the Axis Divisions area.
