xy_plots axis visibility
Allows you to control the visibility of objects on a plot axis.
These objects include tic_marks and the axis label.
By changing the visibility of these objects, you can alter the appearance of the axis without deleting them.
Format:
xy_plots axis visibility |
|---|
axis_name = | an existing axis |
tic_marks = | on_off |
axis_label = | on_off |
visibility = | on_off |
Example:
xy_plots axis visibility & |
|---|
axis_name = | haxis & |
tic_marks = | on & |
axis_label = | off |
visibility = | off |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
axis_name | An Existing Axis | A text string that specifies the name of an axis, which you assign when you create an axis. |
tic_marks | On_Off | This parameter controls the visibility of axis tic marks. |
axis_label | On_Off | Specifies the visibility of the axis label. ON indicates that the label is to be visible; OFF indicates that the label is to be invisible. |
visibility | On_Off | Specifies whether the axis is to be displayed or otherwise. |
Extended Definition:
1. An axis may not have the same name as another axis on the plot.
You may reference the axis with respect to the plot. For example, an axis named "ax1" on plot "p1" may be referenced by the full specification of ".p1.ax1". This is useful when copying an axis from one plot to another.
An axis name may be arbitrarily long and a combination of letters of the alphabet and numbers may be used. The leading character must be a letter.
2. Tic marks are the small lines intersecting the axis. ON, the default, indicates that the tic marks will be visible; OFF indicates that the tic marks will be invisible.
