Dear all,


As to stating units in graphs: IMHO it should be as follows:

If an axis reads 0  ... 10  ... 20 ... etc and the unit is pounds (lb), the legend should read "weight/lb" (pronounced "weight in pound").
The logic is: 10 lb/lb = 10. In orther words, dividing a dimensioned number by the dimension leaves the bare number, which is what the axis shows.
So in the case of the OP the legend should read: "weight/1000lb".
Thus, 20000 lb/1000lb = 20, which is what the axis shows.

Best,


Frank
