Syntax: How to Define the Minimum and Maximum Values for a Numeric Axis
axisname: {
  min: minnumber ,
  max: maxnumber}

where:

axisname

Can be:

  • xaxisNumeric
  • yaxis
  • y2axis
minnumber

Is the minimum value to draw on a numeric axis. The default value is undefined, which automatically calculates the minimum value based on values in the data set.

maxnumber

Is the maximum value to draw on a numeric axis. The default value is undefined, which automatically calculates the maximum value based on values in the data set.
Example: Specifying the Minimum and Maximum Values to Display on a Numeric Axis

The following request against the GGSALES data source generates a vertical line chart and makes the minimum value shown on the y-axis 1,000,000, and the maximum value 6,000,000:

GRAPH FILE GGSALES
SUM DOLLARS 
BY PRODUCT
WHERE CATEGORY EQ 'Gifts'
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT JSCHART
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VLINE
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
*GRAPH_JS
border: {width: 2, color: 'teal'},
blaProperties: {lineConnection: 'curved'},
yaxis: {
  min: 1000000,    
  max: 6000000   
  }
*END
ENDSTYLE
END

The output is:

The following request generates a bubble chart and sets the maximum and minimum values to draw on each axis:

GRAPH FILE GGSALES
SUM  UNITS BUDUNITS 
AND COMPUTE
MUNITS = UNITS;
BY PRODUCT 
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT JSCHART
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH BUBBLE
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
*GRAPH_JS
border: {width:0},
series: [{series: 'all', marker: {shape: 'circle'}}],
yaxis: {
  min: 0,
  max: 1200000,
  majorGrid: {lineStyle: {width: 1, color: 'blue'}},
  },
xaxisNumeric: {
  min: 0,
  max: 1000000,
  majorGrid: {lineStyle: {width: 1, color: 'red'}},
  }
*END
ENDSTYLE
END
