Notes

• The default X and Y axis range is determined by the coordinate range of the matrix, which in an image, is the X and Y pixel range. The View:Show X/Y menu will display the X and Y values in the matrix.
• In image plots of matrix data (e.g. an image plot of geographic data), layer size is a function of the ratio between X_max - X_min and Y_max - Y_min and the layer's Link Axis Length to Scale with X:Y Ratio option is set to 1, by default.
