Graphs

Axes

A graph is defined by an xAxis and yAxis object. Each of these has the following attributes:

title: the
min: the lowest value of the graph (defaults to 0)
max: the highest value of thegraph (defaults to 10)
ticks: the number of ticks to be shown (defaults to 5)
intercept: the value of the other graph where the two axes intersect (defaults to 0)

Here’s an example in which the horizontal axis ranges from 0 to 20 with 10 ticks, and vertical axis ranges from -100 to 100 with just 5 ticks :

layout: OneGraph: graph: xAxis: max: 20 yAxis: min: -100 max: 100 ticks: 5

And here’s an example of the same graph, only the y-axis is told to intercept the x-axis at x = 10

layout: OneGraph: graph: xAxis: max: 20 yAxis: min: -100 max: 100 ticks: 5 intercept: 10

Axis Titles

Axis titles generally work best with “standard” layout, since the horizontal axis label is at the bottom of the graph and the vertical axis label is on the left-hand side:

Axis titles are text, but may contain LaTeX using a dollar-sign delimiter:

layout: OneGraph: graph: xAxis: title: Time $(s)$ yAxis: title: Distance $(m)$

Opposite Axes

You can add an axis as a graph object (just like any other graph object), but as of now it must have the same scale as the current axis:

layout: OneGraph: graph: xAxis: title: Time $(s)$ yAxis: title: Distance $(m)$ objects: - Axis: orient: right intercept: 10 title: Another distance axis!

We’re working on developing multiple scales for opposite axes, but as of now there isn’t support for that functionality.
