[Scilab-users] moving axis ticks around orthogonally to their axes?

[Philipp Mühlmann]

Hi Christoph,

do you want to do something like this?

x = linspace(-2*%pi,2*%pi,201);y = cos(x);plot2d(x,y,2)a=get("current_axes");
set(a,"box","on");set(a,"grid",[1
1]);set(a,"x_location","origin")set(a,"y_location","origin")a.x_label.text
= "x axis";a.x_label.position = [-0.5770492 -1.2550725];a.y_label.text
= "y axis";a.y_label.position = [-9.084153 -0.0956522];
// getting number of tics from x & y axisnr_xticks =
length(a.x_ticks(2));nr_yticks = length(a.y_ticks(2));
// changing x-ticks from first axisx_ticks = a.x_ticksfor i = 1:nr_xticks
  x_ticks.labels(i) = "";  // replace label enda.x_ticks = x_ticks
// changing y-ticks from first axisy_ticks = a.y_ticksfor i = 1:nr_yticks
  y_ticks.labels(i) = "";  enda.y_ticks = y_ticksa.sub_ticks = [0,0]
//draw second axisa2 =
newaxes();set(a2,"x_location","bottom")set(a2,"y_location","left")a2.filled
= "off";a2.axes_visible = ["on","on","off"]


best regards,
Philipp
