PRODUCT : QUATTRO PRO NUMBER : 120 VERSION : ALL OS : DOS DATE : April 11, 1991 PAGE : 1/2 TITLE : XY GRAPHS WITH MULTIPLE X-AXIS Quattro Pro currently allows only one X-Axis series per graph. However, through planning and organization, it is possible to plot multiple X-Axis values against different series values. The following example shows how to set up an XY graph to display multiple X values against varying Y values. This example assumes the following data points (x,y): (x ,y ) (x ,y ) (x ,y ) 1 1 2 2 3 3 0,10 1,5 2,3 5,8 3,7 5,4 8,17 6,12 7,6 11,21 8,13 9,8 11,14 10,10 12,12 Note that the number of data points to plot don't have to be equal in size. Also, since there is only one scale for the X- Axis, your data points should all be within a common range. For example, plotting the points 5,8 and 50,80 (as different series) will produce a plot which extends to extreme regions of the graph. Since X values are plotted against Y values, an XY graph should be used. Place the Y values of each series in a single column (series), and place the corresponding X values in a separate column. These Y-Axes should be selected as separate series. The Y-Axis series will contain some empty cells since the block range in each series must match the full block range of X values.
