LabTalk Object Type:
The grid object is a sub-object of the (layer) axis object. It is also a window object. And axis is a sub-object of layer object. You can use range notation to define a layer object:
And then access the axis object by:
Where Axis is the axis specification: X is the bottom X axis, X2 is the top X axis, Y is the left Y axis, Y2 is the right Y axis, Z is the front Z axis, Z2 is the back Z axis, Zh is the ZhX axis, Zh2 is the back ZhY axis, and Zh3 is the back ZhZ axis.
Or use the following syntax:
Where,
WinName! is optional. If winName! is not specified, grids in the active graph window are affected.
N is the layer number. If n is not specified, the active layer is used.
Axis is the axis specification: X is the bottom X axis, X2 is the top X axis, Y is the left Y axis, Y2 is the right Y axis, Z is the front Z axis, Z2 is the back Z axis, Zh is the ZhX axis, Zh2 is the back ZhY axis, and Zh3 is the back ZhZ axis.
Property | Access | Description |
---|---|---|
layer.axis.grid.majorColor | Read/write, numeric |
Major grid line color. Numbers from the color list, or transparent (0). The color( ) function can be used, as in: .majorcolor = color(blue) |
layer.axis.grid.majorType | Read/write, numeric |
Major grid line type number: 1 = solid, 2 = dash, 3 = dot, etc., from the Line Type drop down list. |
layer.axis.grid.majorWidth | Read/write, numeric |
Width of the major grid lines in points. |
layer.axis.grid.minorColor | Read/write, numeric |
Minor grid line color. Numbers from the color list, or transparent (0). The color( ) function can be used, as in: .minorcolor = color(blue) |
layer.axis.grid.minorType | Read/write, numeric |
Minor grid line type number: 1 = solid, 2 = dash, 3 = dot, etc., from the Line Type drop down list. |
layer.axis.grid.minorWidth | Read/write, numeric |
Width of the minor grid lines in points. |
This (Script window) script types to the Script window the width of the major grid lines of the X axis of layer 3 of the active window.
Layer3.x.grid.majorwidth =
The next script sets the color of the minor grid lines of the Y axis in the first layer of the Graph3 window to be purple.
Graph3!layer1.y.grid.minorcolor = color(purple);
