Showing grid lines

Regular and custom grid lines

To create regular grid lines:

Double-click on the graph origin to open the Frame and Origin tab of the Format Axes dialog. Or click on the Format Axis tool in the Prism toolbar.

•	Choose the color, thickness, and pattern of major and minor grid lines for the X and Y axes using major and minor tick spacings set in the X-axis or Y-Axis formatting tab of the same dialog.

•	You can choose to have X or Y grids only, or both.

How do you place special grid lines on a graph?

Double-click an axis and use the Format Axis tab to place additional ticks or lines (formerly called Custom Ticks) on your graph. You can create as many grid lines anywhere on an axis.

Is there a way to use a grid to help align objects on a graph?

Right-click anywhere on the Prism toolbar and choose Show Grids, or drop the View menu and choose Show Grids. This grids will not show in printouts or exported images.
