TIC OFFSET UNITS

...TIC OFFSET UNITS

Plot Control Command

Specifies specifies whether tic offsets are given in data units or in Dataplot 0 to 100 coordinates.

Dataplot allows you to specify an offset to extend the frame line from the first or last tic mark. These offsets can be specified in either data units of the current plot or in terms of Dataplot's 0 to 100 coordinate units.

<prefix>TIC OFFSET UNITS <DATA/ABSOLUTE>
where
            no prefix refers to all 4 frame lines;
            the prefix XY refers to all 4 frame lines;
            the prefix YX refers to all 4 frame lines;
            the prefix X refers to both horizontal frame lines;
            the prefix Y refers to both vertical frame lines;
            the prefix X1 refers to the lower horizontal frame line;
            the prefix X2 refers to the upper horizontal frame line;
            the prefix Y1 refers to the left vertical frame line;
            the prefix Y2 refers to the right vertical frame line.

DATA specifies that the tic offset is specified in data units and ABSOLUTE specifies the tic offset is specified in Dataplot 0 to 100 screen coordinates.
