DataGraph has over 100 defined constants that can be used to convert axis values from one unit of measure to another, without you having to enter any conversion factors. They include, length, area, volume, time, and more.
These constants are used in the unit conversion in the Extra Axis command. To use this functionality, add an Extra Axis command to your graph and change the Units to ‘Convert’. Then you will have two new entry boxes named Data and Display.
One use case for this functionality is to provide two units of measure for a set of data. For example, below we are graphing data in feet square, but we also want to show meters square on the right.
To create this graph, the Extra Axis options are Units = ‘Convert’ and the Position = ‘Right’. The defined constants are entered such that Data is set to ‘sqft’ and Display is set to ‘sqm’.
Note that it’s up to you to make sure the combination of units you enter makes sense, so always double check! A list of all the defined constants is provided below.
