Here is a plot with the default frame ticks

S1 = Plot[Sin[x], {x, -7, 7}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False]

enter image description here

Now, if I define myself the range as well as the step separation of the left frame ticks by

S2 = Plot[Sin[x], {x, -7, 7}, 
  Frame -> True, 
  FrameTicks -> {{Range[-1, 1, 0.2], Automatic}, {Automatic, Automatic}}, 
  Axes -> False]

I get the following output

enter image description here

Well, there are two obvious issues. First of all, 0 should be not be shown in CPU accuracy. Moreover, all ticks should have the same number of decimal digits so, -1. should be -1.0, 1. should be 1.0 and 0 should be 0.0.

How can I get this?

  • $\begingroup$ No problem with '0' for me. You can try to use ClearAll["Global*"]` to remove the definition of S1, S2 before plotting and try to add WorkingPrecision -> MachinePrecision in the Plot command. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ No problem with 0 for me either... in any case, you can just Chop the ticks. $\endgroup$
