A discrete axis displays separate, distinct categories, ideal for categorical data like product types. In contrast, a continuous axis represents a seamless range of values, such as time or temperature, showing data in a flowing sequence. Use discrete for individual groups and continuous for data measured over intervals.
From the Format menu you can:
Change the axis title
Sort the axis
Adjust the axis scaling (e.g. linear, logarithmic etc.)
Adjust the axis range
Reverse the axis
Format the axis labels
To find the axis formatting menu, you can either:
Right-click on the axis menu and select Edit axis
Select the ellipses next to the field of the axis you would like to edit, and select Display to open the axis options.
For categorical axes, find the resizer by moving your mouse between the axis labels until a boundary is highlighted and the cursor changes to a resizer. Then just click and drag to change the spacing between labels:
To rotate axis labels, right-click the axis and select Rotate labels. Labels can only be rotated for discrete mappings.
To hide or unhide an axis, right-click on the axis and select Hide axis or Unhide all axes.
