It leads to "Custom Units" sub-tab dialog, manually key in the new axis X' values ("Text" column) for corresponding original x-axis labels ("Position" column). For example, new axis X' has value "-1" at original x-axis position "-2", new axis has value "1" at original x-axis position "2", and so on. User can enter string text or numerical values for the new axis at column "Text".

5. Click OK. The new axis X' with customized title and values will be added to the graph.
