Annotations
-
Using regular-sided regions to show the fill styles provided by ChIPS
-
Using regions to display the field-of-view files of a Chandra observation
-
Comparing Chandra and Suzaku observations
-
The COSMOS survey
Sharing an axis between plots
- Three datasets in separate plots with a common axis
- Three datasets in separated plots
-
Three datasets in separate plots with a hidden X axis
- A grid where the plots share axes and the plot sizes are different
Error bars
Axis styles and grids
- The default plot style is to show all four axes (closed)
- The open plot style only displays two axes
- The boxed plot style draws a box around the plot
- Numeric labels (ticklabels) on all four axes
- Rotating the numbers along an axis
- Changing the format used to display the labels
-
Using sexagesimal notation for the axis labels
- Changing the number of major tick marks (using mode=interval)
- Changing the number of major tick marks (using mode=count)
- Displaying a grid at the major tick mark locations
- Add a grid at the major and minor tick mark locations
- Grids work with logarithmically-scaled axes too
- Change the axis labels to use strings rather than numbers
Adding axes
- Using a line to indicate an axis
- Adding an extra axis to a plot
- A single plot containing two datasets with a common axis
- Two y axes on the left of the plot
