display_axis

Context: axes

Syntax

display_axis()
display_axis( [ChipsId] )
display_axis( "axis_id" )
display_axis( "all" )

Description

Depending on the argument, this command displays the current axis, the axis indicated in a ChipsId structure or by the axis_id, or all axes.

(no argument) - the current axis is displayed.
ChipsId - an optional ChipsId structure containing values to modify the currency state for the command.
axis_id - identification tag given to each object that is created; use this to display a specific axis.
all - displays all axes.

Example 1

chips> add_curve([-23,4,15],[10,8,11])
chips> hide_axis()
chips> display_axis()

Create a curve and hide the axis (or axes), then display the current axis.

Example 2

chips> add_plot(.6, .6, .87, .87)
chips> add_curve([-4,0,4],[0,5,10])
chips> hide_axis()
chips> add_plot()
chips> x = np.arange(-4,4)
chips> add_curve(x, x**2)
chips> current_plot("plot1")
chips> display_axis("ay1")

Two plots are created, each containing a curve, and the axes of the first plot are hidden. After creating the second plot, we change back to the first plot and re-show the Y axis ("ay1"). We could have used a ChipsId structure for this by saying:

chips> id = ChipsId()
chips> id.axis = "ay1"
chips> display_axis(id)

Example 3

chips> add_plot(.6, .6, .9, .9)
chips> add_curve([-4,0,4],[0,5,10])
chips> add_plot()
chips> x = np.arange(-4,4)
chips> add_curve(x, x**2)
chips> current_plot("all")
chips> hide_axis("all")
chips> display_axis("all")

Two plots are created and both made current. The axes are all hidden, then the display_axis command displays them all.
