2. Click the General tab of the Scales page.
This is where you set the minimum and maximum data values that will be represented on this scale.
The minimum and maximum values must include all the data ordinate values, that is, all the recorded temperatures. These temperatures range from 8 to 15 degrees. The minimum value of the scale must therefore be no more than 8 and the maximum value no less than 15, if you want to make sure that all the temperature values in
Table 3.1 are displayed. Moreover, it is common practice to use round values.
3. Enter 0 in the Min field and 20 in the Max field.
4. Click Apply to validate the changes.
The resulting chart should now appear as follows:
