I struggled to do this in Data Graph and did not find anything in the manual or online. I have the plot below and I want the sea ice extent on the x axes and the different models on the y axes. I was unable to figure out how to do this though I suspect it is something easy! I can leave it as is for my immediate purpose but it would look better rotated by 90CW. thanks, Uma
Hi All, Right after I submitted (sorry the button must have been pushed twice) I figured out how to switch. Sorry, Uma
p.s. I did have an issue with getting the legend, so I just tricked it and wrote June, July and August using a text box. I was not able to use the variable on the x-axis for my legend.
Hi Uma!
Very nice looking graphs 🙂
How are you drawing the points? Â Are these individual Point commands for each style or are you using a Points command with a Marker scheme?
Hi Datagraph folks,
I use the ‘points’ plot type command three times for my three forecasts (june, july and august). The screen shot shows what the datagraph file choices look like. So I think the answer to your question is yes. The problem I was having was that the legend wanted to use my blank column name in y which represents the different forecast models via consecutive numbers, the # column (but I deleted the # in the column name so it would not show up in the legend). Not sure how clear my explanation is.

Uma,
I think I see what your issue was. Â Near the bottom of the command there is an option for Legend name. Â In that box, there is a blue pill shaped object. Â That is called a token. Â By default it is connected to the y label.
Click in the Legend name box and delete the token.
Then type the name in that box you want to show in the legend (using the Legend command).
Thanks, got it! I now understand the tokens. I had messed with that box but did not think to type in the column name! It takes time to develop an intuition for software and I am slowly getting there with dg. This plot will be in the August Sea Ice Outlook!
