you are using the Image tool in the user interface, you
should use the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* AutoAxes #!EF option of the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Options
#!EF pull-down menu in the Image window, rather than the AutoAxes
module. #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* input #!EF
#!EF #!I50 #!N is the object around which an axes box
is to be generated. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* camera #!EF
#!EF #!I50 #!N is the camera used to render the object
(using Display or Render). The viewpoint determines which of the box
edges AutoAxes creates and which way the labels face. #!N #!I0
#!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* labels #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies labels for
the #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* x #!EF , #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* y #!EF , and #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*
z #!EF axes. If #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* input #!EF has an "axis labels"
attribute, it is used as the default for #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* labels #!EF
. This attribute can be imported with the original data or
it can be added using the Options module. #!N #!I0 #!N
#!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ticks #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N can be an integer
list, in which case it represents the approximate number of tick
marks to be used on each of the three axes. If
you specify #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ticks #!EF as a single integer, AutoAxes uses
approximately that many tick marks in total for all three axes.
#!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* corners #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies
the extent of the axes. If this parameter is not specified,
the module automatically sizes the box to enclose the specified input
object. If it is specified as a list of two vectors,
the module uses the points specified rather than the bounds of
#!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* input #!EF to determine the extent of the axes. In
that case, #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* corners #!EF specifies the end points of the
diagonal of the axes (e.g., [ #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* X #!EF min, #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*
Y #!EF min, #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* Z #!EF min] and [ #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* X
#!EF max, #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* Y #!EF max, #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* Z #!EF max]). #!N
#!N Alternatively, you can specify #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* corners #!EF as an object,
and the module uses the bounds of that object to determine
the size of the axes. This feature is useful, for example,
to enclose varying isosurfaces based on a given data field. You
can use the data field as the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* corners #!EF parameter
to keep the axes box a constant size, even when the
isosurface changes in size. #!N #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* frame
#!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the kind of frame to be
placed around the object. By default ( #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* frame #!EF =
0), the three back faces of the box (from the viewpoint
of #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* camera #!EF ) are opaque, serving as background. If
#!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* frame #!EF = 1, the module draws the outlines of
the other three faces of the box as well. #!N #!I0
#!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* adjust #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N adjust the end
points of the axes to end exactly at the tick marks.
The default is no adjustment. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* cursor
#!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the position for the placement of
a cursor. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* grid #!EF #!EF #!I50
#!N specifies grid lines drawn from the major tick marks. #!N
#!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* colors #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the
color(s) of one or more components of the axes. It can
be a single color (RGB vector or name string) or a
list of colors. Color names can be any of the defined
color-name strings (see #!Lcolor,dxall792 h Color #!EL ). Its effects are partly determined by
the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* annotation #!EF parameter. #!N #!N If #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* color #!EF
is a single string and #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* annotation #!EF is unspecified or
is "all," then the specified color is used for all axes
annotation. Otherwise, the number of colors in #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* color #!EF s
must match the number of #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* annotation #!EF strings exactly and
in a one-to-one correspondence. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* annotation #!EF
#!EF #!I50 #!N combines with #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* color #!EF to specify the
color of one or more components of the axes. This parameter
can be a single string or a set of strings from
the following list: "all," "background," "grid," "labels," and "ticks." You may
remove the background by specifying "background" and setting #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* color #!EF
to "clear." #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* labelscale #!EF #!EF #!I50
#!N determines the size of the axes and tick-mark labels. For
example, #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* labelscale #!EF = 2.0 will display the labels at
double their default size. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* font #!EF
#!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the font for axes and tick-mark labels.
The default for axes is a variable-width font ("variable"), and for
tick-marks a fixed-width font ("fixed"). #!CForestGreen #!N #!N #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18* #!N area

#!N 1. If you have applied scaling to your object using
the Scale module, AutoAxes disregards that scaling when labeling the axes.
This allows you to display data conveniently with an aspect ratio
much different from 1, and still have correct labels on the
axes. AutoAxes only disregards the top-level transformation and does not disregard
the transformations of the Translate or Rotate module. (The macro AutoScaleMacro
in /usr/lpp/dx/samples/macros can be used just before Image or AutoAxes to
scale the object. See also #!Lavoid,dxall776 s How to Avoid Stretching or Squashing Glyphs #!EL .) Because scaling is disregarded
if not done at the top level, you cannot have a
Collect module following the Scale module. For example, if you want
to Collect a caption with an object, you should use Scale
#!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* after #!EF the Collect of the object with the caption.
#!N #!I30 #!N 2. If you are setting the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* corners
#!EF parameter as a vector list, and the input #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* object
#!EF is scaled, #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* corners #!EF should be in units of
the scaled object. #!N #!I30 #!N 3. If #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* corners #!EF
is more restrictive than the given #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ticklocations #!EF , then
the given locations outside the corners are not shown. #!N #!I30
#!N 4. If #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* corners #!EF is less restrictive than the
given #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ticklocations #!EF , or if #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* corners #!EF is
not specified, then all given tick locations are shown, whether or
not there is data there. #!N #!I30 #!N 5. If #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*
ticklocations #!EF is specified, then the data range determines the extent
of the axes, unless #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* corners #!EF is specified, in which
case the given corners are used. #!N #!I30 #!N 6. You
can change the point at which a change is made from
fixed-format to scientific notation for tick labels by setting the DXAXESWIDTH
environment variable (see #!Lmorevar,dxall695 h Other Environment Variables #!EL in IBM Visualization Data Explorer User's Guide).
