Change axis values
Excel 2002. Spreadsheet chart plots a cycloid, with x=r(t-SIN(t)) and
y=r(1-COS(t)). The chart produced is correct. However, I would like the x-axis to display the values of angles (either degrees or radians) rather than the values calculated by x=r(t-SIN(t)). Ideas?? TIA Paddy |

Change axis values
I'm not sure the request makes sense, but here is what I would do. I would
keep the same XY plot you currently have, hide the X axis (set everything on the Format Axis/Patterns tab to none), and generate a series that has points where you want ticks and labels, and use this as your X axis. Here are a few examples of such custom scaled axes: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/...lityChart.html http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/RecipAxisChart.html http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/ArbitraryAxis.html - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Paddy" wrote in message ...
