Syntax: How to Define the Minimum and Maximum Values for a Numeric Axis
axisname: {
  min: number,
  max: number}

where:

axisname

Can be:

  • xaxis
  • yaxis
  • y2axis
min: number

Is the minimum value to draw on a numeric axis. The default value is undefined, which automatically calculates the minimum value based on values in the data set.

max: number

Is the maximum value to draw on a numeric axis. The default value is undefined, which automatically calculates the maximum value based on values in the data set.
Example: Specifying the Minimum and Maximum Values to Display on a Numeric Axis

The following request generates a vertical line chart and makes the minimum value shown on the y-axis 100,000, and the maximum value 1,000,000:

border: {width: 2, color: 'teal'},

yaxis: {
  min: 100000,    
  max: 1000000   
  }
*END

END

The output is:

The following request generates a bubble chart and sets the maximum and minimum values to draw on each axis:
