很多时候,我都会使用和来制作堆叠时间历史图,xticks
以xlabel
节省论文中的垂直空间。
考虑以下 MWE:
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{
compat=1.14,
width=200pt,
height=100pt,
}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
name = plot1,
xticklabels={,,},
ylabel = {$x_1$},
xmajorgrids,
]
\addplot coordinates {(1,0.0001)(2,0.0002)(3,0.0003)};
\end{axis}
\begin{axis}[
at=(plot1.south west), anchor=north west,
xlabel = {$t$[s]},
ylabel = {$x_2$},
xmajorgrids,
]
\addplot coordinates {(1,0.0002)(2,0.0004)(3,0.0006)};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}%
\end{document}
其结果如下:
可以看出,y 轴乘数的位置有问题。一个可能的解决方案是在每个 y 刻度标签中用 指定乘数scaled y ticks=false
,但结果会非常繁重且占用空间。
我希望能够务实地产生以下结果:
在我看来,它确实紧凑而优雅。
为了以编程方式执行此操作,需要科学计数法的指数,以便将其放入ylabel
,例如:
ylabel = {$x_1 \cdot 10^{-\sci_exponent}$},
然后找到一种获取缩放的 ytick 标签的方法。
是否可以?
请注意,不同于自动将 PGFPlots xtick 刻度标签放入 x 轴标签中,我不想只移动指数,而是想反转指数以便(例如)代替$10^{4}
,10^{-4}
如上图所示。
答案1
致力于解决自动将 PGFPlots xtick 刻度标签放入 x 轴标签中,我想出了这个完全自动化的解决方案(即使有点肮脏):
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.14}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
xtick scale label code/.code={\pgfmathparse{int(-#1)}$x \cdot 10^{\pgfmathresult}$},
every x tick scale label/.style={at={(xticklabel cs:0.5)}, anchor = north},
ytick scale label code/.code={\pgfmathparse{int(-#1)}$y \cdot 10^{\pgfmathresult}$},
every y tick scale label/.style={at={(yticklabel cs:0.5)}, anchor = south, rotate = 90},
]
\addplot coordinates { (0.0001,0.001)(0.0002,0.002)(0.0003,0.003) };
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
输出结果如下:
并自动适应数据的数量级。
答案2
作为Torbjørn T.已经在问题下面的评论中说明了不久前有一个类似的问题:自动将 PGFPlots xtick 刻度标签放入 x 轴标签中但我不喜欢那里提出的解决方案布多·津多维奇,因为这有几个副作用,我不想在这里提及。
因此我提出了另一种解决方案。有关其工作原理的更多详细信息,请查看代码中的注释。
(仅作为附加信息:
我已经询问过 Christian Feuersänger(PGFPlots 的作者),是否有可能只访问“比例值”,但到目前为止还没有得到答案。这将允许比这个更自动化的解决方案。如果有人已经有了想法,我会很高兴知道。)
