hide_axis

Synopsis

Hide the specified axis.

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

Description

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

• (no argument) - the current axis is hidden.
• 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 hide a specific axis.
• all - hides all axes.

The axis is not deleted, just hidden. The display_axis command makes it visible again.

Example 1

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

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

Example 2

chips> add_plot(.6, .6, .87, .87)
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> id = ChipsId()
chips> id.plot = "plot1"
chips> id.axis = "ax1"
chips> hide_axis(id)

Two plots are created, each containing a curve, then the X axis of the first plot is hidden. The hide_axis() call could have been written as:

chips> current_plot("plot1")
chips> hide_axis("ax1")

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")

Two plots are created and both made current. The hide_axis command then hides all the axes.
