custom graph

Post by pdrezelo »

Hi
I am new to Vensim and have an issue with a custom graph. I am looking to graph a few variables on the y axis with a 60 year time scale on the x axis. I have found how to limit the graph to 60 years, however, I cannot figure how to set the time increments on the y axis to 10 years. Vensim defaults to another scale.

Does anyone know how to do this?

You can change this globally by adjusting the Horizontal setting on the Scaling tab of the Control Panel.

custom graphs: y axis increment

Post by pdrezelo »

Actually, I tried this: I added a value of ten to the drop down under Horizontal Divisions in the Scaling tab, but it did not work.

For custom graphs use X-Divisions - in your case set that to 6.

custom graphs: x axis increment

Post by pdrezelo »

Hi
I've tried changing the values in both Horizontal Divisions and Vertical Divisions under Scaling in Control Panel, but when I change these values in the drop-down, it dissappears when I change tabs or close Control Panel and neither will change the graph to display an increment of 10 along the X axis for a graph.

Use X-Divisions in the custom graph definition, not on the Control Panel.
