SETYTIC

Purpose:

Sets the tic spacing on the y-axis.

Syntax:

SETYTIC(win, ytic)

win

-

Optional. Window reference. Defaults to the current Window.

ytic

-

A real, the desired Y tic interval.

Example:

setytic(.01)

 

sets the y tic interval on the current Window to 0.01.

Example:

setytic(-1)

 

sets the ytic interval of the current Window to the default values.

Example:

The GETXTIC and GETYTIC functions return the current tic intervals.

 

setytic(W3, 0.5*getytic)

 

shrinks the y-tic interval of W3 by a factor of 2.

Example:

W1: abs(gnorm(1000, 1))*10000;setylog(1, 0, 1);setytic(2)

 

The data in W1 is plotted on a log Y scale. The Y tic interval is set to 2 decades.

Remarks:

If the tic interval is negative or not specified, the tic intervals are scaled automatically.

 

For a plot with a log Y axis, the ytic interval refers to decades, i.e. 10ytic.
