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