Linking plot axes in different plots

Share icon

Hi guys

I'm building a small application with a layout based on the CWT demo with two graphs showing the original data and the transform.

How can I link the horizontal axes of both plots? I want any zooming horizontally to be reflected in both plots, with any vertical zooming to be contained only to the plot that it was done it.

I'm agnostic on how to achieve or implement this, be it using the zoom box left mouse click, or some sort of scroll bar.

Thanks

And of course, as soon as I post about it, I find a solution. (don't know if it is the optimum one though...)

I've got some SetVariable boxes to take values, and an "Update plots" button to press.

The button is linked to the following proc:

function updateCWTWindowProc(ctrlName) : ButtonControl
	String ctrlName

	Variable autoScaleInt=0
	ControlInfo/W=PeakPanel peakAutoScaleIntCheck
	if(V_Value)
		autoScaleInt=1
	endif

	NVAR cwtColour  =root:Packages:PeakPanelFolder:cwtColour
	NVAR xAxisMin   =root:Packages:PeakPanelFolder:xAxisMin
	NVAR xAxisMax   =root:Packages:PeakPanelFolder:xAxisMax
	
	//CWT window
	SetActiveSubwindow PeakPanel#G0
	ModifyImage M_CWT ctab= {-cwtColour,cwtColour,RedWhiteBlue,0}
	SetAxis bottom xAxisMin,xAxisMax

	//Data window
	SetActiveSubwindow PeakPanel#G1
	
	if(autoScaleInt)
		SetAxis/A=2 //autoscales the Y axis to match the values in the current X range
	else
		//Need a way to preserve the values that I already have
		GetAxis /Q left
		SetAxis /A //clears any previous autoscaling
		SetAxis left V_min, V_max
	endif
	
	SetAxis bottom xAxisMin,xAxisMax
		
	SetActiveSubwindow PeakPanel
		
end
