...create ticks between bars
Occasionally, you may want the tick marks on a bar chart top draw between the bars, "Excel style," rather than at the data points which is generally a better way. In this case, you can use Minor Tick marks to draw
these ticks.
- For the X axis tick marks, change Apply to to Minor ticks.
- Set the Bottom direction to Outward.
- Set the Length to the desired length.
- Set the Tick intervals to 2.
- To delete the major tick marks, just click and press Del.
Histograms and variable x spacing
If you are using histograms and want the bars to represent values within an x
range, you can change the width settings of bars to match the ranges they represent.
- Create an XY bar chart using numeric values for the x-range.
- From the Widths panel of the Graph Properties dialog box, set the Bar thickness to 100%.
- Set the Width style to Variable.
- Set the Bar alignment to Left.
- The bar chart will now accurately represent both bin range and counts.
