Curve Tool: Using the Grid

The Graph view has the following options for displaying a grid:

No Grid. No grid is displayed.
Dots. Light gray dots are drawn at each division.
Crosses. Light gray crosses are drawn at each minor division and dark gray crosses are drawn at each major division.
Lines. Light gray, dotted lines are drawn at each minor division and dark gray, dotted lines are drawn at each major division.

The position and time scales determine the grid spacing. The spacing of the dots, crosses, or lines corresponds to the major and minor tick marks on the scale bars. Both the grid and tick mark spacing is automatically chosen by the Curve Tool to give natural divisions (for example, 100, 200, 500, 1000). Therefore, as the scales are changed, the units per grid will change if necessary to keep reasonable grid spacing.

To change the grid type:

On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Graph tab.
Under Grid, use the Show Grid check box to turn the grid on or off.
If Show Grid is checked, click the Dots, Crosses, or Lines option button to select a grid type.
Click OK.
