Grinding axes: Axis scales, labels, and ticks

Nick Cox

9 September 2022

Session

This is a roundup of not quite utterly obvious tips and tricks for graph axes, using both official and community-contributed commands.

Ever needed a logarithmic scale but found default labels undesirable?

 

  • a slightly non-standard scale such as logit, reciprocal, or root?
  • a tick to be suppressed?
  • labels between ticks, not at them?
  • automagic choice of “nice” labels under your control?

 

Community-contributed commands mentioned will include mylabels, myticks, nicelabels, niceloglabels, qplot, and transplot.
