The GRAPH command always assumes that the X axis is categorical. Use the
GGRAPH command with Chart Builder or the IGRAPH command.

Subject: Graph scale
HI,
I apologise for this simple question ... but I have been unable to find the
answer using the graph properties function, spss help menu and trial and
error.
I have a line graph I am plotting. The bottom axis (X) of time has values
0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 14. When I plot, this axis is equally spaced. How
can I specify it to be spaced according to its numeric value?
Note: when I go into chart properties and axis, it says its a categorical
value, but I want it to be numerical. In my dataset the type is
'numeric'.
GRAPH
/LINE(multiple) MEAN(DV) BY time BY category
/PANEL COLVAR=sex COLOP=CROSS.
Any enlightenment would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Paola
