The tickers for all funds in the study are shown on the X axis (bottom).
In the graph below, the Y axis is the citation score and the X axis is the number of publications in total.
FORBES: The Most Innovative Countries In Biology And Medicine
The vertical axis (Y axis) is the compounded portfolio return and the horizontal axis (X axis) is portfolio risk as measured by the annual standard deviation of return.
To explain the graph a bit more clearly, the X axis is months and years, while the Y axis is the volume of industrial activity as a percentage of the average monthly output of 2009 (which, it should be noted, was depressed as a result of the global financial crisis).

The key, I concluded, is to plot the different kinds of consequences of work (y-axis) against the different types of groups (x-axis) that do the work.
Risk is commonly placed on the x-axis, and return is placed on the y-axis.
On the x-axis is the rate of unemployment, on the y the rate of inflation.
The above chart looks at how many papers were published in the information technology area (on the X-axis) and how likely those papers were to be cited by other scientific papers.

The chart on the right takes data from the US Energy Information Agency and plots total US inventories of crude plus all other categories of liquid hydrocarbons, and shows the change between the week ending on the x-axis date, and the inventories for the like week of 2010.
The knobs are connected to a pulley system, which moves a brass stylus along an X-Y axis.
