Dynamically Link Axes to Each Other

How To... > Work with Graphs > Dynamically Link Axes to Each Other

When you are comparing two different graphs of data, it is often helpful to have the scales be the same. Suppose you want the x-axes of the two graphs shown below to have the same scale.

1.	Select one graph.

2.	Choose Graph \| Show Axis Links.

_img33

A broken link icon appears on each axis of the selected graph.

3.	Drag the link from one axis that you want linked, and drop it on the other axis.

_img34

An animation shows that the axes are now linked, and the chain link is closed.

_img35

Rescaling either axis will automatically rescale the other to keep them matched up.

You can continue to link as many axes together as you want.

•To break the link relationship, click any unbroken chain to select it and choose Graph | Unlink [this] Axis.
