Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Position of Axis Scale Factor in Plot

[sprungfeld]

Hi,

I am trying to create a plot with two separate y-axes. The right y-axis is units "*10^5". However, the multiplication caption is not positioned correctly. I use the following code:

Code: Select all

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \begin{axis}[
    axis y line* = left,
    xlabel = grid size $l$,
    ylabel = \textcolor{blue}{\footnotesize$\blacksquare$}
indices per $\mathcal{T}$,
    ymode = log,
    log origin=infty
  ]
    \addplot[color=blue,mark=x] coordinates {
      (15000,317.631)
      (20000,182.318)
      (40000,49.3089)
      (80000,14.4933)
      (160000,5.02436)
      (320000,2.37795)
      (500000,1.81145)
      (640000,1.62701)
      (1280000,1.29392)
      (2560000,1.18447)
    };
  \end{axis}

  \begin{axis}[
    hide x axis,
    ylabel near ticks,
    axis y line*=right,
    ylabel={\textcolor{red}{\footnotesize$\blacksquare$}  number of $\mathcal{T}_{pot}$}
  ]
    \addplot[color=red,mark=x] coordinates {
      (15000,40819)
      (20000,41179)
      (40000,41179)
      (80000,42720)
      (160000,44312)
      (320000,44866)
      (640000,98610)
      (1280000,168980)
      (2560000,184202)
    };
    \draw[black,dashed] (axis cs:500000,0) -- (axis cs:500000,200000);
    \draw (axis cs:500000,200000) node[below right] {$l_r$};
  \end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}

This produces the output in the attached picture. However, I want the "*10^5" in the upper right corner to be aligned right of the y-axis, not left of it. It should be aligned just like the tick labels for the right y-axis.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Hi,

You can reconfigure the position by means of styles. In your case, the style definition

Code: Select all

        every y tick scale label/.style={
            at={(yticklabel* cs:1.03,0cm)},
            anchor=near yticklabel
        },

given inside of the option list for your second axis appears to do what you want it to:

This choice resembles the one used by normal ticks, i.e. the tick scale label will be aligned just like tick labels. As long as you can still distinguish it from standard tick labels, this should be fine.

Kind regards
