Create scales
Use the scale object to draw a line with tick marks on it.
The scale can be used as a ruler or measuring guide. For example, you can place the scale next to a bar graph, with text labels at the top and bottom, to illustrate the range of the bar graph.
To draw a scale
- In the Graphics Display editor, select Gauge and Graph > Scale from the Objects menu.
- Press the Mouse button and drag the mouse diagonally to draw the scale.
- When the scale is the desired size, release the button.
- Double-click the scale to open its Properties dialog box.
- In the Properties dialog box, specify how you want the scale to look.
