This icon defines a projection for a Cartesian-style coordinate system. This should be used for any plot which is not to be displayed on a map. Once the projection has been defined through the axis specification, data points should be provided in this coordinate system. See also the Magics documentation for Subpage - Projection.

For further details on the role and usage of View icons in the visualisation process, please see Analysis Views.

The macro language equivalent is cartesianview(). 


The Cartesian View Editor

X Automatic

Determines whether the x-coordinate system should be defined automatically based on the first data to be plotted in the view; if so, the axis will range, left to right, from the minimum to the maximum value in the data. If not, the minimum and maximum values should be specified.

X Axis Type

Determines the type of coordinates on this axis:

X Min

The leftmost value of the x axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Regular or Logarithmic.

X Max

The rightmost value of the x axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Regular or Logarithmic.

X Min Latitude

The leftmost latitude value of the x axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Geoline.

X Max Latitude

The rightmost latitude value of the x axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Geoline.

X Min Longitude

The leftmost longitude value of the x axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Geoline.

X Max Longitude

The rightmost longitude value of the x axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Geoline.

X Date Min

The leftmost date value of the x axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Date.

X Date Max

The rightmost date value of the x axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Date.

X Automatic

Determines whether the x-coordinate system should be defined automatically based on the first data to be plotted in the view; if so, the axis will range, left to right, from the minimum to the maximum value in the data. If not, the minimum and maximum values should be specified.

Y Axis Type

Determines the type of coordinates on this axis:

Y Min

The bottom value of the y axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Regular or Logarithmic.

Y Max

The uppermost value of the y axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Regular or Logarithmic.

Y Min Latitude

The bottom latitude value of the y axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Geoline.

Y Max Latitude

The uppermost latitude value of the y axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Geoline.

Y Min Longitude

The bottom longitude value of the y axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Geoline.

Y Max Longitude

The uppermost longitude value of the x axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Geoline.

Y Date Min

The bottom date value of the y axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Date.

Y Date Max

The uppermost date value of the y axis, this parameter is only used if the axis type is set to Date.

Horizontal Axis

Specifies the plotting attributes of the horizontal axis. An Axis Plotting icon can be dropped here.

Vertical Axis

Specifies the plotting attributes of the vertical axis. An Axis Plotting icon can be dropped here.
