That'll work.

One last thing here...
Do I have to include the decimal approximation in the command, or is there another, more simpler way to label the axes?

I'll let you know if I find another approach. | | The following users thank McScruffy for this useful post: | | |

you may have to play around with it a bit, but that should give you the general idea. That method prints the axis labels a bit nicer too. | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to McScruffy For This Useful Post: | | |
