graph time axis

Postby fbrayton » Mon Jan 20, 2014 12:38 pm

I need to make some graphs using several series that are generated from the simulation of a model. (The particular source of the series is not important.) I want to graph 40 observations, for example, and have the time axis of the graph be based on the integers from 1 to 40, rather than the actual year/quarter dates. One way to do this is to copy all of the series to an unstructured page and make the graph there. Is there an easier way?

Open up the graph options dialog, go to Axes & Scaling - > Obs/Date Axis, then enter the name of an Alpha series containing the labels you want in the "Optional Alpha..." box on the right.

Thanks. Is there are way to do this with commands in a program?
