scale bar for electrophysiology

Hallo,

I want to plot a wave without the axis being displayed, but with a scale bar indicating a time unit and ordinate unit. Basicall this is the common way to show electrophysiology data.

I am likely just miss the right term to search the help function...
A solution or just the right search term would be very appretiated.

cheers

You can create calibration bars using the Append Calibrator package that ships with Igor. You can use it by creating a graph and then selecting the graph and choosing the Graph->Packages->Addend Calibrator menu item.

To hide an axis, double click on it. In the modify axis dialog, make the following changes:
Axis tab: set thickness of line (middle of dialog) to 0.
Auto/Man Ticks tab: in the automatic ticks group on the left, set Approximately: to 0
Label options tab: Set labels to off

Or, you can bring the graph forward and execute the following command on Igor's command line:
ModifyGraph nticks=0,noLabel=2,axThick=0
