When I do a scatter plot, by default it shows the axis from 0.0 to 1.0 fractions.

For example, the following graph contains a straight line that goes from (0,0) to (10m,10m), but it shows:

Detailed data generation show at: Large plot: ~20 million samples, gigabytes of data

How to make the axes show from 0 to 10 million instead?

The inspiration for this comes from this question.

Tested in VisIt 2.13.3.

  • Meta comment: using a tag like [visit] could be easily misused by other users in future i.e. mistakenly believing it's related to website visits. Is it worth prepending a source to this tag e.g. [llnl-visit]? – Michael Dodd Jul 10 '19 at 10:09

    @MichaelDodd I'm not sure what is best to be honest. My gut feeling is keep visit since visit as for website visits should not deserve a tag. It is then a question of how much newbie noise will happen and if it would scare visit devs away. The root problem is that that software is too generically named to start with... – Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.com Jul 10 '19 at 10:28
  • Just speaking from experience with the daily clean-up of misuse of the [android-studio] tag, very few users read the tag descriptions unfortunately – Michael Dodd Jul 10 '19 at 10:29
  • @MichaelDodd OK, maybe you are right. I think I'll go for visit-llnl then, so that autocomplete will work a bit better, this should be good enough to avoid mistags I guess. – Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.com Jul 10 '19 at 10:34

Since scatter plot associates variables of potentially radically different scales, by default, it maps each variable's range into [0,1]. We have this ticket for it. You can manually change by going to scatter plot attribute's window and Apperance tab and un-checking the 'Normalize the axes to a cube' option

  • Thanks for coming over to answer Mark! I tried it out and it worked perfectly. To be even more explicit for other users, I went under: PlotAtts > Scatter > Apperance > Normalize the axes to a cube. If you have any questions about the Stack Overflow platform, do let me know. The only initial hump is getting 50 reputation to be able to comment, but then it's fine. – Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.com Jul 13 '19 at 14:10
