MGL command: adjust ['dir'='xyzc'] ¶

Method on mglGraph: void Adjust (const char *dir="xyzc") ¶

C function: void mgl_adjust_ticks (HMGL gr, const char *dir) ¶

Set the ticks step, number of sub-ticks and initial ticks position to be the most human readable for the axis along direction(s) dir. Also set SetTuneTicks(true). Usually you don’t need to call this function except the case of returning to default settings.

C function: void mgl_set_ticks_factw (HMGL gr, char dir, mreal d, int ns, mreal org, const wchar_t *fact) ¶

Set the ticks step d, number of sub-ticks ns (used for positive d) and initial ticks position org for the axis along direction dir (use ’c’ for colorbar ticks). Variable d set step for axis ticks (if positive) or it’s number on the axis range (if negative). Zero value set automatic ticks. If org value is NAN then axis origin is used. Parameter fact set text which will be printed after tick label (like "\pi" for d=M_PI).

C function: void mgl_set_ticks_valw (HMGL gr, char dir, HCDT val, const wchar_t *lbl, bool add) ¶

Set the manual positions val and its labels lbl for ticks along axis dir. If array val is absent then values equidistantly distributed in x-axis range are used. Labels are separated by ‘\n’ symbol. If only one value is specified in MGL command then the label will be add to the current ones. Use SetTicks() to restore automatic ticks.

Method on mglGraph: void AddTick (char dir, double val, const char *lbl) ¶

Method on mglGraph: void AddTick (char dir, double val, const wchar_t *lbl) ¶

C function: void mgl_add_tick (HMGL gr, char dir, double val, const char *lbl) ¶

C function: void mgl_set_tickw (HMGL gr, char dir, double val, const wchar_t *lbl) ¶

MGL command: xtick 'templ' ¶

MGL command: ytick 'templ' ¶

MGL command: ztick 'templ' ¶

MGL command: ctick 'templ' ¶

Method on mglGraph: void SetTickTempl (char dir, const char *templ) ¶

Method on mglGraph: void SetTickTempl (char dir, const wchar_t *templ) ¶

C function: void mgl_set_tick_templ (HMGL gr, const char *templ) ¶

C function: void mgl_set_tick_templw (HMGL gr, const wchar_t *templ) ¶

Set template templ for x-,y-,z-axis ticks or colorbar ticks. It may contain TeX symbols also. If templ="" then default template is used (in simplest case it is ‘%.2g’). If template start with ‘&’ symbol then long integer value will be passed instead of default type double. Setting on template switch off automatic ticks tuning.

MGL command: ticktime 'dir' [dv=0 'tmpl'=''] ¶

Method on mglGraph: void SetTicksTime (char dir, mreal val, const char *templ) ¶

C function: void mgl_set_ticks_time (HMGL gr, mreal val, const char *templ) ¶

Sets time labels with step val and template templ for x-,y-,z-axis ticks or colorbar ticks. It may contain TeX symbols also. The format of template templ is the same as described in http://www.manpagez.com/man/3/strftime/. Most common variants are ‘%X’ for national representation of time, ‘%x’ for national representation of date, ‘%Y’ for year with century. If val=0 and/or templ="" then automatic tick step and/or template will be selected. You can use mgl_get_time() function for obtaining number of second for given date/time string. Note, that MS Visual Studio couldn’t handle date before 1970.

C function: double mgl_get_time (const char*str, const char *templ) ¶

Gets number of seconds from 1970 year to specified date/time str. The format of string is specified by templ, which is the same as described in http://www.manpagez.com/man/3/strftime/. Most common variants are ‘%X’ for national representation of time, ‘%x’ for national representation of date, ‘%Y’ for year with century. Note, that MS Visual Studio couldn’t handle date before 1970.

Method on mglGraph: void SetTuneTicks (int tune, mreal pos=1.15) ¶

Switch on/off ticks enhancing by factoring common multiplier (for small, like from 0.001 to 0.002, or large, like from 1000 to 2000, coordinate values – enabled if tune&1 is nonzero) or common component (for narrow range, like from 0.999 to 1.000 – enabled if tune&2 is nonzero). Also set the position pos of common multiplier/component on the axis: =0 at minimal axis value, =1 at maximal axis value. Default value is 1.15.

MGL command: tickshift dx [dy=0 dz=0 dc=0] ¶

Method on mglGraph: void SetTickShift (mglPoint d) ¶

Enable/disable ticks skipping if there are too many ticks or ticks labels are too long.

MGL command: origintick val ¶

Method on mglGraph: void SetOriginTick (bool val=true) ¶

Enable/disable drawing of ticks labels at axis origin. In C/Fortran you can use mgl_set_flag(gr,val, MGL_NO_ORIGIN);.

C function: void mgl_set_axis_stl (HMGL gr, const char *stl, const char *tck, const char *sub) ¶

The line style of axis (stl), ticks (tck) and subticks (sub). If stl is empty then default style is used (‘k’ or ‘w’ depending on transparency type). If tck or sub is empty then axis style is used (i.e. stl).
