The grid in your chart gives you a point of reference when data points move across the chart. iFIX gives you precise control of both the horizontal and vertical axis of your grid. To define a grid, click the Grid tab. Both the Show Horizontal Grid and Show Vertical Grid areas let you select whether to display the grid, the number of lines in the grid, and the grid color and style. For the horizontal axis, you can also select whether to scroll the grid when you select a scrolling option.
To select a number of lines for the grid, enter a number in the Number of Lines field. The maximum number of lines you can have in your grid is 21. To select a color for your grid, click the Grid Color field and select a color from the Select Color dialog box.
To select a grid style, select a style from the Grid Style drop-down list. You have the same types of styles for your grid as you do for your pen line styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted, Dash-Dot, and Dash-Dot-Dot).
