left / l

Left vertical axis.

right / r

Right vertical axis.

bottom / b

Bottom axis for XY and scatter graphs ( scat, xyarea, xybar, xyline, xypair).

top / t

Top axis for XY and scatter graphs ( scat, xyarea, xybar, xyline, xypair).

zerotop / zeroback

Draw zero line on [top / bottom] of other graph elements.

all / a

All axes.

linear

Linear data scaling (default).

linearzero

Linear data scaling (include zero when auto range selection is employed).

log

Logarithmic scaling.

norm

Norm (standardize) the data prior to plotting.

range(arg)

Specifies the endpoints for the scale, where arg may be: “auto” (automatic choice), “minmax” (use the maximum and minimum values of the data), “n1, n2” (set minimum to n1 and maximum to n2, e.g. “range(3, 9)”).

overlap / ‑overlap

[Overlap / Do not overlap] scales on dual scale graphs.

invert / -invert

[Invert / do not invert] scale.

units(arg)

Specifies the units of the data, where arg may be: “n” (native), “p” (percent), “k” (thousands), “m” (millions), “b” (billions), “t” (trillions).

format(option1 [,option2, ...])

Sets data formatting, where you may provide one or more of the following options:
“commadec” / “-commadec” ([Do / Do not] use comma as decimal, “ksep” / “-ksep” ([Do / Do not] include a thousands separator, “leadzero” / “-leadzero” ([Do / Do not] include leading zeros, “dec=arg” (set number of decimal places, where arg may be an integer or “a” for auto), “prefix=c” (add a prefix character, where c may be a single quoted character or “” to remove the prefix), “suffix=c” (add a suffix character, where c may be a single quoted character or “” to remove the suffix).

grid / -grid

[Draw / Do not draw] grid lines.

zeroline /
‑zeroline

[Draw / Do not draw] a line at zero on the data scale.

zerotop /
-zerotop

[Draw / Do not draw] the zero line on top of the graph.

ticksout

Draw tickmarks outside the graph axes.

ticksin

Draw tickmarks inside the graph axes.

ticksboth

Draw tickmarks both outside and inside the graph axes.

ticksnone

Do not draw tickmarks.

ticksauto

Allow EViews to determine whether to draw tickmarks on or between observations.

tickson

Draw tickmarks on observations.

ticksbtw

Draw tickmarks between observations.

ticksbtwns

Draw tickmarks between observations, removing space at the axis ends.

minor /

-minor

[Allow / Do not allow] minor tick marks.

label /

-label

[Place / Do not place] labels on the axes.

duallevel / -duallevel

[Allow / Do not allow] two row date labels on the observation axis.

font([face], [pt], [+/- b], [+/- i], [+/- u], [+/- s])

Set characteristics of axis font. The font name (face), size (pt), and characteristics are all optional. face should be a valid font name, enclosed in double quotes. pt should be the font size in points. The remaining options specify whether to turn on/off boldface (b), italic (i), underline (u), and strikeout (s) styles.

textcolor(arg)

Sets the color of the axis text. arg may be one of the predefined color keywords, or it may be specified using individual red-green-blue (RGB) components using the “@RGB” or “@HEX” functions. The arguments to the @RGB function are a set of three integers from 0 to 255, representing the RGB values of the color. The arguments to the “@HEX” function are a set of six characters representing the RGB values of the color in hexadecimal. Each two character set represents a red, green or blue component in the range '00' to 'FF'. For a description of the available color keywords see “Color definitions”.

mirror / -mirror

[Label / Do not label] both left and right axes with duplicate axes (single scale graphs only).

angle(arg)

Set label angle, where arg can be an integer between -90 and 90 degrees, measured in 15 degree increments, or “a” (auto) for automatically determined angling. The angle is measured from the horizontal axis.
