Size of graph

Depending on my font size for my X and Y axis labels, the graphs scales
itself in size. Is there a way to fix the size of the graph?

Thanks,
Joel
 
Joel:

Your post is a little unclear, but I am assuming that you mean that the
width of a bar changes based on font or that the scale of the x axis
changes. You can fix both of these by setting the graphs properties. Right
click on the graph object and click edit:

Then to fix the scale of an axis: right click on the axis and choose
"format axis", for the scale of the x axis, you can set the font and number
of categories between tick marks. For the scale of the y axis you can set
the max and min number.

Right click on one of the bars or data points and choose "format data
series" in this dialog you can set the gap between the bars or data points.
This may impact the visibility of your labels if its too close so you can
also angle the text.

If I've missed what you mean by the graph "scaling" then repost.
 
Thanks for replying. It's not quite what I was getting at though. Let me
try to rephrase.

Let's say on the Y axis you increase the font size from 10 to 16. Being
that 16 is larger, it will adjust the picture of the graph smaller to
acccomdate the bigger font. I don't want it to adjust it. I want to fix the
actual size of the graph.

Hope that makes sense and thank you so much for your help.
