I am trying to make a 6 panel figure for publication where each X and Y axis has its own label. Here is simplified code and its output:

Get["SciDraw`"]
Figure[
 Multipanel[{
   
   (*FIGURES HERE*)
   FigurePanel[{ },{1, 1}];
   
   },
  
  (**)
  Dimensions -> {2, 3},

  (*AXIS STUFF HERE*)
  XPlotRange -> {0, 1},
  YPlotRange -> {0, 1},
  YFrameLabel -> {
    {"y label 1", "y label 2", "y label 3"},
    {"y label 4", "y label 5", "y label 6"}
    },
  XPanelGaps -> 0.5,
  YPanelGaps -> 0.5
  ],
 Background -> White,
 CanvasSize -> {10, 5}
 ]

Should have y labels 1 through 6 in order with the letters

So my question is how do I get different X/Y axes on each panel?

Use ShowFrameLabel -> True. You may also want to use ShowTickLabels -> True. The options have the usual variants, i.e. XShowFrameLabel, XXShowFrameLabel, etc.

Figure[
 Multipanel[
  {
   FigurePanel[{}, {1, 1}, FrameLabel -> {"foo", "bar"}];

   FigurePanel[{}, {2, 1}, 
    FrameLabel -> {"rabbit", "dog"}, 
    ShowTickLabels -> False (* in this panel we don't want tick labels *)
   ];

   FigurePanel[{}, {1, 2}, 
    FrameLabel -> {"macaw", "jaguar"}, 
    ShowFrameLabel -> False (* in this panel we don't want fame labels *)
   ];

   FigurePanel[{}, {2, 2}, FrameLabel -> {"wombat", "thylacine"}];
   },
  Dimensions -> {2, 2},
  XPanelGaps -> 0.2, YPanelGaps -> 0.2,
  ShowFrameLabel -> True, (* by default we want all frame labels, not just on the edges *)
  ShowTickLabels -> True (* by default we want all tick labels, not just on the edges *)
  ],
 CanvasSize -> {8, 6}
 ]

  • $\begingroup$ So in the case of a 2x3 panel figure, is the default with Multipanel XShowFrameLable -> {{False,False,False},{True,True,True}} and YShowFrameLable -> {{True,False,False},{True,False,False}}? Looking through the user guide documentation, I don't see any mention of that. $\endgroup$ – Eric Feb 17 '16 at 22:38
  • $\begingroup$ @Eric I don't know the details of how these options are handled. I never use this syntax that you show. I either use a global setting in Multipanel, where the default is ShowFrameLabel -> False and causes the result you showed, or otherwise I put the options within FigurePanels directly. That way I know what option is associated with what panel, even if I change the panel arrangement. I never use lists of boolean values directly within Multipanel. $\endgroup$ – Szabolcs Feb 18 '16 at 9:20
  • $\begingroup$ maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, but I saw somewhere in the documentation that figurepanels within multipanels will only use XYoptions specified from multipanel. Is it that they will preferentially apply multipanel options over figurepanel options? $\endgroup$ – Eric Feb 18 '16 at 14:23
  • $\begingroup$ @Eric I don't know. I added an example. $\endgroup$ – Szabolcs Feb 18 '16 at 14:42
  • $\begingroup$ Excuse me!You code cannot be run in 10.3.1? $\endgroup$ – yode Feb 19 '16 at 13:56
