<P>
The <CODE>SCALES</CODE> command turns off the autoscaling feature, as set by the
<a href="../Characteristics/GeneralGraph/autoscale.htm"><CODE>AUTOSCALE</CODE></a>
characteristic, and sets the graph scales for subsequent graphs as follows:</P>
<table border="0" cols="3">
<tr>
<td><CODE>minx</CODE></td>
<td>-</td>
<td>minimum value to display on the x-axis</td>
</tr><tr>
<td><CODE>maxx</CODE></td>
<td>-</td>
<td>maximum value to display on the x-axis</td>
</tr><tr>
<td><CODE>nlxinc</CODE></td>
<td>-</td>
<td>number of large (numbered) tic marks on the x-axis</td>
</tr><tr>
<td><CODE>miny</CODE></td>
<td>-</td>
<td>minimum value to display on the y-axis</td>
</tr><tr>
<td><CODE>maxy</CODE></td>
<td>-</td>
<td>maximum value to display on the y-axis</td>
</tr><tr>
<td><CODE>nlyinc</CODE>
<td>-</td>
<td>number of large (numbered) tic marks on the y-axis</td>
</tr></table>
<P>
If no parameters are entered, the scales will be frozen at their current
values, and the current values of <CODE>minx</CODE>, <CODE>maxx</CODE>, <CODE>nlxinc</CODE>,
<CODE>miny</CODE>, <CODE>maxy</CODE>, and <CODE>nlyinc</CODE> will be displayed.</P>
<P>
If four (<CODE>4</CODE>) parameters are entered, the number of labeled tic
marks on the <i>x</i> and <i>y</i>-axes, that is, <CODE>nlxinc</CODE> and
<CODE>nlyinc</CODE>, default to zero (<CODE>0</CODE>), which means the program will
choose "nice" numbers of increments.</P>
