X-axis settings (Figure 3) allow you to make changes to the way the x-axis in the scatter chart is displayed.
Figure 3: X-Axis
In the X-axis settings you enable the axis display with Show/Hide, hide the axis label with Hide X-axis label, set the X-axis Color, set the X-axis Tick Font Size (the measurement scale the axis uses), and control axis line thickness with Axis Width.
The Label settings allow you to set the X-axis Label Font Size, choose a Font Family, a Font Style, and select Drop Shadow to apply a text shadow effect.
You can use X-axis Ticks to control the number of ticks the axis displays, choose between a linear or logarithmic Scale, control the tick values' numeric display with X-axis Tick Format and enable a Currency Format to set a currency symbol position.
X-axis range controls the calculation of the range for metrics values, either automatically or entering a minimum or maximum value.
You can also choose to Hide X-axis Tick Labels, enable min/max smoothing to ensure the axis begins and ends with an appropriate rounded integer value, and choose Display zero reference line to show a zero value. X-Axis Margin controls the scatter chart margin, increasing or decreasing the amount of empty space around the edges of the chart (margins are not available for a Min/Max X-axis range).
