[Scilab-users] axis number style

Dear all,

When plotting some data the axes present ticks labelled with numbers. However, the digits of the different numbers on the same axis may differ, for instance 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1. It would be better if the default presentation were 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1. Is there a way to set this as a default?

Thanks.

Regards,

Federico Miyara

Yes:

--> gca().ticks_format(1) = "%.1f";

Because of the bug 14790, new ticks labels are not rendered. But there is a work-around:

--> a = gca(); a.x_ticks.labels(1) = a.x_ticks.labels(1);

forces displaying new ticks labels.
As an expected side effect, this automatically sets a.auto_ticks(1) = "off", but labels are well formatted.
Example:

x = 0:0.1:2;
plot(x,sin(5*x))
a = gca(); 
a.ticks_format(1) = "%.1f";
a.x_ticks.labels(1) = a.x_ticks.labels(1);
