Interpolate Selecting Interpolate causes the plot to rock between a plot of Y vs X1 and Y vs X2 if "Y Axis" is selected, or between a plot of X vs Y1 and X vs Y2 if "X Axis" is selected. The states set by the Rock and Interpolate buttons are mutually exclusive, that is, selecting one causes the other to be 'deselected.' Note: Interpolate doesn't work when rotation is about an oblique axis.
