I have line graph of sines of angles 0 deg to 360 deg. I need the X axis to
show X-axis corresponding to angles 0, 90, 27, 360. But if I set
tick-marks every 90, the labels read 1,91,181,271,361.

This is because the "Scale" dialogue has "Value (Y) axis crosses at
category number: 1". This cannot be set to zero; it must be in the range 1
to 39999. How can I set the X-axis to commence at zero?

What point am I missing here???

Thanks

Paddy

Found it. I had forgotten - use scatter graphs rather than than line graph.

Don't worry! You wouldn't have been the first to rush into print
with that question or answer. It's almost on the level of how to
plot empty values :-)

Ah! But you may not appreciate the deeper import of my Alzheimic episode!
I have a class of High School kids in Excel next week - haven't used Excel
for a while. "She'll be right" quoth I blithely ..........
