Scale Markers dialog

Use this dialog to define scale markers for a graph.

Scale markers are accenting lines or shaded background ranges that mark key points, thresholds, ranges, and so on in a graph. There are two types of scale markers:

Line — A line that is drawn across the graph at a specified position on the scale
Range — A shaded background area that is displayed behind the graph

Line or range scale markers can be applied on one or more axes depending on the type of graph.

Note:

Some graph types do not use scale markers, such as pie graphs.

For more information, see "Graph Properties dialog: Scale tab."
