How far are close should I set data for graph?

I'm making a scatter plot graph with 10 pieces of information to use on both x and y axis, though x doesn't need to tampered with, I need to figure out how to space, or what to "count" by on the y-axis, the plots varying from 95 to 2,232.

I'm pretty much asking what should I could by to get between 10 and 2,500 on about 10 ten lines or so. If not that, how many lines should I add and what should I could by to get a certain number range including numbers in the 500's and 200's and 400's.

    i'd take the max and divide it by 10. Or increments of 250.

    Maybe even do it automatic... so if the max was 30 make it 30/10 or increments of 3.

    (grant it you'll need some rounding for if it was 31 .... but still ) that's how i'd handle it.
