13 <p>Gridlines and axis labels make charts easier to understand. They give
14 the lines a clear scale. Unless you tell it otherwise, dygraphs will choose
15 a y-axis and set of gridlines which include all of your data.</p>
16
17 <p>If you have many series with different scales, this will compress the
18 variation in all but the largest one. Standard ways to deal with this
19 include <a href="two-axes.html">secondary y-axes</a> and <a
20 href="logscale.html">log scales</a>.</p>
21
22 <p>If neither of these is to your liking, you can manually rescale your
23 series and undo that scaling for the hover values. This demo shows how to
24 do it.</p>

28 <p>Hover over to see the original values. This is what the data looks
29 like without any rescaling:</p>
