Tick Value Fit Policy Applicability Matrix

Tick Value Fit Policy Applicability Matrix provides a matrix of the tick value fit policies and the axes to which each applies in the OVERLAY, LATTICE, DATALATTICE, DATAPANEL, and EQUATED layouts. In the matrix, the notations V, H, and B are used to indicate the axes to which each policy applies for a specific case. V indicates that the policy applies to the vertical axis only (Y, Y2, and row axes). H indicates that the policy applies to the horizontal axes only (X, X2, and column axes). B indicates that the policy applies to both the horizontal and vertical axes.
