Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Change base of pgfplot axis?

[teer]

So I have a vertical timeline. It records events over 24h, to the nearest minute, with one day per page.

But a day has 1440 minutes, not 2400. So setting the interval between 00:00 and 24:00, with a (wrongly) implied scale of 100 per hour.

Is there a way to change this?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[english]{book}

\usepackage{charter}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}

\newcommand{\vtimeline}{%
	\begin{tikzpicture}
		\begin{axis}[
			y post scale=-1,
			footnotesize,
			hide x axis,
			axis y line=left,
			axis line style={-, draw=none},
			ytick=data,
			xmin=0.99,
			clip=false,
			nodes near coords,
			nodes near coords align=right,
			point meta=explicit symbolic,
			yticklabel style={
				/pgf/number format/set thousands separator={},
				inner sep=1pt
			},
			scale only axis,
			width=1mm,
			height=23cm,
			tick align=outside,
			every tick/.append style={thin, cyan}
			]
			
			\addplot [mark=*,cyan,mark size=2, shorten <=-2mm, shorten >=-2mm, thick] table[y index=0, x expr=1, meta=label] {\datatable};
			
		\end{axis}
	\end{tikzpicture}
}

These would be slightly further apart at base 60, no?


PS. Sorry in advance for making two threads this week. I'm getting into tables and pgf/tikz and to be honest it is quite daunting. Thank you very much to anyone who can help me gain any insight.
