how to change axis scale?

Postby tanghanpost » Fri Jun 26, 2009 5:41 am

hi,
i plot a data with eviews, just say 10 cells, then the axis scale are 5 ticks, just 0,2,4,6,8,10. but i want to show 8 ticks, like 0,1.5,3,……,then how to change the scale?
i find that eviews has the menu of "atuo", "min&max","user specified", but no choice for the number of the axis ticks.
can anyone tell me?


thanks!

If you are referring to the data scale, EViews allows you to set the endpoints using the options you listed (Auto, Min/Max, User), but not to specify the interval.

Is there no possibility to change the scale?? I only want 1 decimal place, hence all values, as 0.55, 0.45 are not necessary. My scale looks no as follows, which is really stupid!
.5
.5
.4
.4
.3
.3
Looking forward to receive any suggestions,
Thanks Katjes

While EViews provides extensive control over the time scale, it does not currently allow for much customization of the data scale. My best suggestion would be to play with the endpoint options mentioned above (Auto, Min/Max, User specified) to see if you can achieve what you're after.

Hi, I want to do a plot with 24 observations. A default plot labels the horizontal axis as 2,4,6,...24 (obs.1-24). I want to change the horizontal axis to 1,3,5,...23 with the same 24 observations. How do I specify the command in my program? Thanks, Howard

Hi, Gareth, thank you so much. My question wasn't written clearly. I have 24 observations. A default plot will label the horizontal axis as 1,2,3,...24. I want to change the label to 0,1,2,...23. How to specify the command? thanks, Howard

Hi,
I wonder if it now is possible to customization the data scale and choose number of ticks? I'm using EViews 10.
