Plot

I want to use ms instead of s as the unit of x-axis. But frameticks seems not to work here as it cannot change the value of x-axis.

How to replace the number of x-axis 0.0001 with 1 or 0.1? Or just scale the x-axis?

  • $\begingroup$ However, I noticed that if we add "Frame -> True" in the program, they cannot work again. Do you have any idea to solve this? $\endgroup$

Here is a way to do what you are asking.

Before

Plot[Sin[200 Pi t], {t, 0., .01}]

before

After

Plot[Sin[200 Pi t], {t, 0., .01},
  Ticks -> {{#, 1000 #} & /@ FindDivisions[{0., .01}, 5] // N, Automatic}]

after

Update

This update is in response to the comment made by drabus.

It's annoying but frame ticks must be specified somewhat differently from axis ticks. So if you are framing the plot, do it this way:

Plot[Sin[200 Pi t], {t, 0., .01},
  Frame -> True,
  FrameTicks ->
    {Automatic, {{#, 1000 #} & /@ FindDivisions[{0., .01}, 5] // N, Automatic}}]

  • $\begingroup$ If you add a frame, then you need to control ticks with the FrameTicks option and drop the Ticks option. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I noticed the ticks below x-axis are intergers but with a dot behind may lead mistake to readers. Can anybody remove the dots? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @m_goldberg I got it right. It has to be like this: Frame -> True, FrameTicks -> {{Automatic, None}, {{#, 1000 #} & /@ FindDivisions[{0., .01}, 5] // N, None}} $\endgroup$

Plot[x^2, {x, .0001, .0005},
 Ticks -> {Table[{i, ToString[10000 i]}, {i, .0001, .0005, .0001}], 
   Automatic}
 ]

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks for you, too. Your answer help me a lot when I just want the frameticks downside the frame instead of ticks appear on both upside and downside. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Chad Meng Sure: Ticks -> {Table[{i, Round[10000 i]}, {i, .0001, .0005, .0001}] $\endgroup$ Mar 26, 2015 at 15:37
