Set graph properties

Graph Title - Optionally enter a title for your graph.

Select Above Graph to display the title at the top of the graph; select Below Graph to display the title below the graph.

Graph Size - Select Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large to specify the size of the graph.

Graph Scaling Mode - Select proportions of your graph display:

• Isotropic keeps the same scale in both the X and Y directions. For example, if you set X minimum and maximum to (-10,10), and the Y minimum and maximum to (-5,5), the resulting display grid is half as high as it is wide.
• Anisotropic creates an almost proportional grid in X and Y. In the preceding example, the spacing between the Y values would be greater than the spacing between the X values, and the grid would be almost square.
• For anisotropic graphs, Keep Graph Square makes the grid an exact square.

Show Grid - Select this check box to show the grid lines in your graph.

Title - Optionally enter a name in this box to label the axis.

On the X-Axis tab, select Display label below graph to position the x-axis title below the graph. If this option is not selected, the title shows at the end of the axis line. The y-axis title shows above the top of the axis line.

Minimum - Enter a new value in this box to change the default minimum limit for the axis.

Maximum - Enter a new value in this box to change the default maximum limit for the axis.

Tick Spacing - Enter a new value in this box to change the increments of the tick-marks on the axis of your graph. Tick marks begin at zero (0) and show at evenly spaced intervals based on the tick-spacing value you specify. For example, if you enter 10, the tick marks represent increments of 10 (... -30, -20, -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, ...). If you set the tick spacing to an interval greater than the limits of your axis, only the origin is labeled.

Axis Label - Choose one of the following options to specify what values to label along the axis:

• Label Minimum and Maximum - Select this option to label only the minimum and maximum values.
• Label Every - Enter or select a value to label every nth tick mark, where n is the value you entered in the Tick Spacing box. The labels begin with 0 and each nth tick is labeled. If you set an interval greater than the axis limits, the tick marks are not labeled.

The Alt Text tab page lets you enter a brief description of the graph for students using screen readers.
