Change y to a percent scale

By default, the scale on the y-axis is in data units. For example, the y-axis values in the following line plot represent light output.

C1 C2 C3
LightOutput Temperature GlassType
580 100 1
1090 125 1
1392 150 1
550 100 2
... ... ...
You can change the y-axis to a percentage scale. When you create a plot, click Plot Options. On an existing plot, use the following steps:
  1. Double-click the graph.
  2. Right-click the graph and choose Graph Options.
  3. Select Show Y as Percent, and choose one of the following options.
    Across all x-categories
    The sum of all plotted values is 100%. For example, in this plot, the sum of all nine plotted values is 100%.
    Within each x-category
    The sum of the plotted values within each x-category is 100%. Use this option if you want to standardize within categories and accentuate differences. For example, in this plot, the sum of the three plotted values at each level of Temperature is 100%.
