number of digits on ticks

Share icon

I am not able to get a consistent number of digits on the x-axis of the following plot (as example), where I want exactly one digit after the decimal point, i.e. I want "4.0" instead of "4". This is caused by "zapTZ = 1", but in the default setting (=0) I will end up with an extra digit on all values which I don't want.

Did I miss something?

macro Graph0()
    // make data
    make/O/N=4 w=0.365
    setscale/i x 3.7,4.1, w
    
    Display /W=(98,94,579,486) w
    ModifyGraph tick=2
    ModifyGraph mirror=1
    ModifyGraph fSize=25
    ModifyGraph zapTZ(bottom)=1
    SetAxis/N=1 left 0.339,0.391
    SetAxis/N=1 bottom 3.75,4.12
EndMacro

 

*********** EDIT ***************

Adjusting the number of ticks solved the problem, i.e.

ModifyGraph nticks(bottom)=4,zapTZ=0

 

 

Another way to do it is to use "Computed manual ticks"

In the Modify Axis dialog, Auto/Man Ticks tab:

Select Computed Manual Ticks from the menu in the upper left corner of the tab.

Set the Tick Increment to 0.1

Set Digits After Decimal Point to 1

If you want the minor ticks as in your first attempt, under Minor Ticks set Number Per Major Tick to 1.
