plotSetXMinorTicCount

Purpose

Controls the number of minor ticks to place between major ticks on the x-axis of a 2-D plot.

Format

plotSetXMinorTicCount(&myPlot, num_tics)

Parameters:

• &myPlot (struct pointer) – A plotControl structure pointer.

• num_tics (Scalar) – the number of minor ticks to place between major ticks on the x-axis.

Examples

// Declare plotControl structure
struct plotControl myPlot;

// Initialize plotControl structure
myPlot = plotGetDefaults("scatter");

// Set x-axis major and minor grid lines on
plotSetXGrid(&myPlot, "both");

// Set x-axis minor grid lines tick count
plotSetXMinorTicCount(&myPlot, 4);

// Create a scatter plot of random data
plotScatter(myPlot, seqa(1, 1, 10 ), rndn(10, 1));

Remarks

• The x-axis minor grid must turned on using plotSetXGrid() or plotSetGrid() for the minor axis to show.

• The x-axis minor grid is unsupported for bar, box, and histogram plots at this time.

  Note

  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 Tools > Preferences > Graphics menu.
