NewFreeAxis

NewFreeAxis [/L/R/B/T/O/W=winName ] axisName​

The NewFreeAxis operation creates a new free axis with no controlling wave.

Parameters​

axisName is the name for the new free axis.

Flags​

/L/R/B/TSpecifies whether to attach the free axis to the Left, Right, Bottom, or Top plot edge, respectively. The Left edge is used by default.
/OReplaces axisName if it already exists, which means any existing axis is marked as truly free.
/W=winNameDraws in the named graph window. winName may also be the name of a subwindow. winName must not conflict with other axis names except when using the /O flag. If /W is omitted, it creates a new axis in the active graph window or subwindow.

Details​

A truly free axis does not use any scaling or units information from any associated waves (which need not exist.) You can set the properties of a free axis using SetAxis or ModifyFreeAxis.

Example​

Make jack=x
Display jack
NewFreeAxis fred
ModifyFreeAxis fred, master=left, hook=axhook

Copy this function to your Procedure window and compile before executing the code above:

Function axhook(s)
	STRUCT WMAxisHookStruct &s

	Variable t= s.max
	s.max= s.min
	s.min= t
	return 0
End
