This icon defines a projection for a Cartesian-style coordinate system. This should be used for any plot which is not to be displayed on a map. Once the projection has been defined through the axis specification, data points should be provided in this coordinate system.
The macro language equivalent is cartesianview().
The Cartesian View Editor
X Automatic
Determines whether the x-coordinate system should be defined automatically based on the first data to be plotted in the view; if so, the axis will range, left to right, from the minimum to the maximum value in the data. If not, the minimum and maximum values should be specified.
X Axis Type
Determines the type of coordinates on this axis:
- Regular: the values are just real-valued numbers
- Date: the values are dates. When invoked from a macro, these can be supplied as date variables; when typing dates into the icon editor, use the Magics notation for writing dates
- Logarithmic: the values are just real-valued numbers, but the axis will be on a logarithmic scale
- Geoline: the axis limits should be provided as geographical coordinates; this can be used for displaying cross sections, or other plots where an axis represents a geographical line
