Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ pgfplots | Alter Grid Frequency

[Hrs]

Hi all!

By executing my code (see below), I have a plot with grid, but I need grid to be frequently than now. How should I change it?

Thank you in advance!

Code: Select all

Since you do not describe properly how you want the grid, I can only refer you to the pgfplots manual. It describes the options xtick and ytick for the axis environment.

how you want the grid

I want it to be 10 times frequently than now.

[localghost]

I want it to be 10 times frequently than now.

I'm afraid I can't follow you. What does that mean? More ticks with less distance in between or what? If you set more ticks, the plot might become unclear.

[Hrs]

More ticks with less distance in between

Yes.

[svend_tveskaeg]

I guess Hrs means "I would like the lines to occur 10 times as frequent, i.e., with 1/10 the current distance between them" instead of "I want it to be 10 times frequently than now".

[localghost]

OK then. Let's summarize. The grid that is automatically produced by the provided code has several properties.

• On the x axis values go from 0 to 20 with ticks in steps of 5 (→ 4 ticks)
• On the y axis values go from 0.2 to 1 with ticks in steps of 0.2 (→ 4 ticks)

The desired grid shall have ten times more ticks on the axes as the original. So this is what we get.

• On the x axis values go from 0 to 20 with ticks in steps of 0.5 (→ 40 ticks)
• On the y axis values go from 0.2 to 1 with ticks in steps of 0.02 (→ 40 ticks)

Hence the axis environment only needs some more options as I already mentioned in my first reply. But this is going to be weird (see attachment).

Code: Select all

\begin{axis}[
  xmin=0,
  xmax=20,
  xlabel={x axis},
  xtick={0,0.5,...,20},
  ymin=0.2,
  ymax=1,
  ylabel={y axis},
  ytick={0.2,0.22,...,1},
  grid=both
]
  % plot content
\end{axis}

And I don't think that you really want this output. I strongly recommend to read the respective manuals for information about possible customization. All other questions will be answered by just a bit of reading.


Further reading:

• The pgf manual
• The pgfplots manual

[Hrs]

Yes, I don't need numbering be 10 times frequently... only grid. Maybe i should try to combine 2 different pairs of axis, to do what i want...

[localghost]

[…] Maybe i should try to combine 2 different pairs of axis, to do what i want...

No need for that. Just search the pgfplots manual for the minor tick num option and give it to the axis environment.
