[comp.sys.apple] AWGS Speadsheet

gillam@hpfcmgw.HP.COM ( Larry Gillam ) (02/09/90)

	I have AppleWorksGS and was wandering if there is a work-a-round
	for a limitation(?)in graphing from the spreadsheet. I select
	line graph and it, as expected, pops me into the graphic module
	that allows me to add what I want to the line graph. Fine...I
	start adding labels and so-forth and notice there aren't any
	tic marks on either axis! I have to add the tic marks? Argh..
	What a pain. In looking through the manual I don't see any
	easy way of doing it! Is there somthing I'm missing? It seems
	it could have been done very easily in the code? They provide the
	limit tic marks. 

	Am I missing somthing? Suggestions?

I hate to say it, but that's the way it is.  Charting was a feature added
very late in the game and it was never intended to be very heavy-duty.  As
a result, there wasn't time to add all the desirable features to it.  I
know.  I wrote the charting code.

Maybe someday...
