PlotAxis

Defines the style of the axes of PlotGraph.

Standard

General axis for arbitrary input data.

Name	Type	Annotation
min	double	The minimum value of the axis. If no value is given, the minimum scale value is set automatically.
max	double	The maximum value of the axis. If no value is given, the maximum scale value is set automatically.
majorTickSpacing	double	The boundary annotation.
minorTickSpacing	double	The spacing of the frame tick intervals.
gridLineSpacing	double	The spacing of the grid line intervals
gridLine	plotLine	The style of the grid lines.
unit	string	Naming unit to append to the axis values.
label	string	The description of the axis.
logarithmic	boolean	If set to 'yes', a logarithmic scale is used for the axis.
color	plotColor	Setting the color of the axis bars and labels.
changeDirection	boolean	If set to 'yes', the directions right/up are changed to left/down.

Time

The input data are interpreted as MJD (modified Julian date). The unit of the tick spacings should be appenend to the number and can be any of

• Y (year, plot with 4 digits)
• y (year, plot with 2 digits)
• O (month, plot using FORMAT_DATE_MAP)
• o (month, plot with 2 digits)
• U (ISO week, plot using FORMAT_DATE_MAP)
• u (ISO week, plot using 2 digits)
• r (Gregorian week, 7-day stride from start of week TIME_WEEK_START)
• K (ISO weekday, plot name of day)
• D (date, plot using FORMAT_DATE_MAP)
• d (day, plot day of month 0-31 or year 1-366, via FORMAT_DATE_MAP)
• R (day, same as d, aligned with TIME_WEEK_START)
• H (hour, plot using FORMAT_CLOCK_MAP)
• h (hour, plot with 2 digits)
• M (minute, plot using FORMAT_CLOCK_MAP)
• m (minute, plot with 2 digits)
• S (second, plot using FORMAT_CLOCK_MAP)
• s (second, plot with 2 digits).

A secondary time axis can be added to specify larger intervals (e.g dates of hourly data).

Examples: Settings for Fig. plotAxisType:plotAxisTime1: majorTickSpacing=6H, secondary: majorTickSpacing=1D.

Settings for Fig. plotAxisType:plotAxisTime2: majorTickSpacing=2d, secondary: majorTickSpacing=1O, options=FORMAT_DATE_MAP="o yyyy".

Settings for Fig. plotAxisType:plotAxisTime3: majorTickSpacing=1o, secondary: majorTickSpacing=1Y, options=FORMAT_DATE_MAP="mm".

Name	Type	Annotation
min	time	The minimum value of the time axis. If no value is given, the minimum scale value is set automatically.
max	time	The maximum value of the time axis. If no value is given, the maximum scale value is set automatically.
majorTickSpacing	string	Y: year, o: month
minorTickSpacing	string	D: date, d: day
gridLineSpacing	string	H: clock, h: hour, m: minute, s: second
secondary	sequence	secondary time axis
majorTickSpacing	string	Y: year, o: month
minorTickSpacing	string	D: date, d: day
gridLineSpacing	string	H: clock, h: hour, m: minute, s: second
color	plotColor	color of axis bars and labels
gridLine	plotLine	The style of the grid lines.
changeDirection	boolean	right->left / up->down
options	string	adjust date format

Labeled

Axis with string labels. The coordinate system is based on the label indices (e.g. 0, 1, 2).

Name	Type	Annotation
labels	string	tick labels (ticks are placed at their index. e.g. 0, 1, ..., 5)
min	expression	minimum value of the axis
max	expression	maximum values of the axis
orthogonalLabels	boolean	labels are oriented orthogonal to axis
gridLine	plotLine	The style of the grid lines.
color	plotColor	set the color of the axis and labels
changeDirection	boolean	If set to 'yes', the directions right/up are changed to left/down.
