RE: How to make the gridlines of a chart square

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I find Jon Peltier utility fasinating.
I have done three pdf files showing before and after effect, but am not
aware how to attach them to show you.
In words, when I do first time transformation (to make grid square), I
cannot predict major tick setting.
I may need to adjust the major tick setting and transform the grid again.

Would it be nice if we can control the maximum values of the axes.
