plotSetYTicInterval¶
Purpose¶
Controls the interval between Y-axis tick labels and also allows the user to specify the first tick to be labeled.
Format¶
-
plotSetYTicInterval
(&myPlot, ticInterval[, firstLabeled])¶ Parameters: - &myPlot (struct pointer) – A
plotControl
structure pointer. - ticInterval (scalar) – the distance between Y-axis tick labels.
- firstLabeled (scalar) – Optional input, the value of the first Y-value on which to place a tick label.
- &myPlot (struct pointer) – A
Examples¶
XY plot¶
// Create the sequence 0.25, 0.5, 0.75...3
x = seqa(0.25, 0.25, 12);
y = sin(x);
// Declare plotControl structure
// and fill with default settings for XY plots
struct plotControl myPlot;
myPlot = plotGetDefaults("xy");
// Place the first Y-tick label at 0.5
// and place additional ticks every 0.25 after
plotSetYTicInterval(&myPlot, 0.25, 0.5);
// Draw plot with applied Y-tick settings
plotXY(myPlot, x, y);
Remarks¶
plotSetYTicInterval()
is supported for use with all plot types except for PQG graphics andplotSurface()
.- This function sets an attribute in a
plotControl
structure. It does not affect an existing graph, or a new graph drawn using the default settings that are accessible from the menu. See the GAUSS Graphics chapter for more information on the methods available for customizing your graphs.
