    Scaling the x-axis on a line chart

    I am having trouble scaling the x-axis so that the intervals are equal. The
    source data is not in equal intervals, it goes
    0.0,0.2,0.4,0.45,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9 (I think). What can I do to make the
    interval on the graph 0.2? I'm using XP.

    Re: Scaling the x-axis on a line chart

    Don't make a line chart. Make an XY chart, using the markers and lines
    option. Then you can double click the X axis and set any appropriate
    tick spacing.

    An XY chart treats X and Y as continuously varying numerical values. A
    line chart treats Y that way, but treats X as non-numerical text labels.
