Although it is not supported in the gui, the Igraph command allows you to set the min and max for the axes.  Paste the syntax and modify it along the lines of the following.  The SCALE keyword takes min and max specifications in parentheses.

In the new graphics system introduced in SPSS 12, templates can specify the min and max for axis ranges.

IGRAPH /VIEWNAME='Scatterplot' /X1 = VAR(salbegin) TYPE = SCALE(min=0 max=200000) /Y = VAR(salary) TYPE = SCALE(min=0 max=150000)/COORDINATE = VERTICAL

Subject: [SPSSX-L] fixed axes ranges with igraph

Hi all.

I'm struggling with IGRAPH to get fixed ranges for the x and y axes. I can set the length of the axes, but not the minimum and maximum values for the axes as far as I can tell, that is without going into the interactive chart manager once the chart is done. Because I have 70 files to process, that's not such a good option. I've looked at Raynald's site and his book to no avail. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Jodene
