The Vertical Axis sub-tab is available on the Transient Stability Analysis dialog and the PV Curve dialog on the Plot Designer sub-tab of the Plots page. The vast majority of features for plotting are common to both Transient Stability and PV Curves. In cases where there is a difference in functionality it will be denoted in the help documentation.
This tab provides information about the axis group that is currently selected in the Plots, Subplots, Axis Groups list found on the Plot Designer sub-tab. An axis group is selected if any of its corresponding plot series are selected in the list.
