AxisObject
AxisObject
AxisObject[path]
is a Graphics primitive that represents an axis with a quantitative scale along the path path.
AxisObject[path,scale]
uses the scale specified by scale.
Details and Options
- AxisObject[…] represents a generalized axis that can be placed in arbitrary graphics.
- An axis consists of a path, which determines where the axis is drawn; the scale, which controls how coordinates in the graphic are mapped to values along the path; and options that affect the detailed appearance of the axis, ticks and labels.
- Possible settings for path include:
-
{pt1,pt2} axis through the points pt1 and pt2 {"Horizontal",y0} horizontal axis through 
{"Horizontal",y0,{xmin,xmax}} horizontal axis from 
to 
{"Vertical",x0} vertical axis through 
{"Vertical",x0,{ymin,ymax}} vertical axis from 
to 
InfiniteLine[{pt1,pt2}] infinite axis through points pt1 and pt2 InfiniteLine[pt,v] infinite axis passing through the point pt in the direction v Line[{pt1,pt2}] finite axis from point pt1 to point pt2 Line[{pt1,…,ptn}] curve axis from point pt1 to point ptn HalfLine[{pt1,pt2}] half-axis from the point pt1 through pt2 HalfLine[pt,v] half-axis from point pt in the direction v BSplineCurve[…] axis along the given B-spline curve BezierCurve[…] axis along the given Bézier curve Circle[…] axis along the given circle or arc - Infinite forms of axes draw to the edges of the graphic.
- By default, "Horizontal" and "Vertical" axes use the natural scale where the axis values correspond to the vertical and horizontal components of the underlying graphics coordinates.
- Possible settings for scale include:
-
{val1,val2} use val1 at the start of the axis and val2 at the end {loc1val1,loc2val2} use val1 and val2 at locations loc1 and loc2 - For infinite axes, the "start" and "end" points are taken to be pt1 and pt2.
- For "Horizontal" and "Vertical" axes, the locations loci can be specified as x and y coordinates.
- The locations loci used to define the value scale for an axis do not have to be visually present in the graphic.
- If the location loci is not on the axis, it will be projected to the nearest point that is.
- Possible options for AxisObject are:
-
AxisLabel None how to label the axis AxisStyle {} how to style the axis path BaseStyle {} general style for the axis LabelStyle {} how to style labels RotateLabel
