# Macro Language: Axis Style Commands

`setaxis <x axis 1> <y axis 1> <x axis 2> <y axis 2>`

Enable or disable axis drawing (possible values: yes/no)

`ascalstart <AXIS> <start>`

Defines where axis scaling should start.

`ascalend <AXIS> <end>`

Defines where axis scaling should end.

`asetreverse <AXIS> <bool>`

If set the axis will be reverse plotted (possible values: yes/no)

`atickdist <AXIS> <dist>`

Defines the distance between two major ticks. If your axis is a time axis you have to enter `days:hours:minutes:seconds` or `w` (1 week) or `m` (1 month) or `y` (1 year).

Defines the number of minor ticks between two major ticks.

`atimeformat <AXIS> <format>`

Defines the format used for the displaying time values on time axis (time format tokens).

`atrigger <AXIS> <trigger>`

Defines the number of decimal places for axis numbers.

`adecplacesauto <AXIS> <bool>`

If enabled the number of decimal places for axis numbers will be determined automatically (possible values: yes/no).

`acuttrailingzeros <AXIS> <bool>`

This will cut trailing zeros from axis numbers. Works only if adecplacesauto is not set (possible values: yes/no).

`aformat <AXIS> <AXISFORMAT>`

Defines the axis format.

`asetsmalllogzero <AXIS> <bool>`

If enabled the smallest value on a logarithmic axis will be replaced with 0 (even if this is not correct) (possible values: yes/no).

Defines the axis text label.

`anumfont <AXIS> <font> <size>`

Defines the font for axis numbers.

`anumoffset <AXIS> <offset>`

The distance between numbers and frame.

Defines the alignment of axis numbers.
`<align>`: The text box alignment.
