how to calculate X and Y axis

[sandokan]

just I need an automatic X and Y axis calculation algorithm that I want to use for my ZX Spectrum. Any help?

Calculating the X and Y axis is easy. You need to collect the data and start the calculation from the collected data. See the attached algorithm.

don't forget axis positioning. it is common to have the y-axis on the left and the x-axis on the bottom. However, this only applies if the data is in the 1st quadrant. For example, if the data is in the 3rd quadrant (X<0 and Y<0), then the Y-axis should be on the right side and the X-axis should be on top.

I did a software for 4D display simulating HP plotter. It creates an X and Y axis from data set.
