    In IC617 and before, you can use:

    envSetVal("viva.rectGraph" "background" 'string "white")

    In IC618 and later, use:

    envSetVal("viva.graphFrame" "background" 'string "white")

    For fonts - this is the approach - envSetVal("viva.axis" "font" 'string "Helvetica,20,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0")

    This article discusses the meaning of each field in the string for any of the font variables: How to change the default font and size of the delta markers in VIVA

    What do you mean by "axis tic values"? What are  you trying to set?

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    I mean this. Can we increase the font size of the tic values and even the tic marks (in the scale).

    I already explained how to change the font size for the axis; if you are asking how to control the size of the tic marks on the axis, I don't think there's any control for that - you can control whether they are present or not, but not how big they are.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    What do you mean by “Major grid and minor grid properties”?
