TransformAxis Tick Formating

Share icon

Hi - 

I created a plot with several waves appended. The y-axis (left) is a rate vs. x-axis which is a temperature. I have done a custom transform of the y-axis. It worked. However, I have tics from both the left and right y-axis on both sides. So I see double tick marks. How do I only have the left axis tick marks on the left and the right axis tick marks on the right. As an aside, how do I remove the the transformed axis? 

I have gone through the Modify Axis settings. The "ticks and grids" Location tap only allows you to remove them completely from both sides.  

 

Thank you.

I'm not quite sure I understand the problem you are describing. Perhaps it would help to post a copy of your Igor experiment file that I could fiddle with some.

Do you mean that the left axis has "Crossing" selected as the Location in the Ticks and Grids tab of Modify Axis dialog? But you want a different style for the Transformed axis? I went to a lot of trouble to make Transform Axis use the same axis styles as the main axis... But you can, in fact, select the "MT_Left" axis in the Modify Axis dialog and change the appearance. 

To remove a Transform Axis, select Graph->Transform Axis->Untransform Axis.

Here is the figure. As you can see the left and right axis have double ticks. One pair of ticks is from the original y-axis on left. When I did a transform of the axis to the right side, it generated new ticks (as it should), but it still displays the other ticks. I want the left axis ticks to correspond to the left axis and the right axis ticks to correspond to the right axis.

This is the code I wrote for the Axis Transform: 

Function TransAx_GrowthRate(w, x)
    Wave/Z w
    Variable x
    return x*288.8/10^3/11*3600*2
end

I've never seen a problem like that. Could you upload a copy of the Igor experiment file? I need to actually poke around at the graph myself.

Ah, ha! Turn off Mirror Axis. Double-click the left axis to bring up the Modify Axis dialog. On the Axis tab, Axis section, select Off in the Mirror menu.

No problem. I might have thought of that from your picture, but it was very helpful to have the experiment file.
