Description

SetXAxisPosition sets the position of the X axis.

Parameters

Notes

The given position is truncated (towards 0) to an integer value.

The default axis position differs for vertical and horizontal plots. For vertical plots, the X axis position defaults to Y=0, provided Y=0 is within the range of the graph. If Y=0 is not within the range of the graph, the X axis position will default to the edge with the smallest absolute Y value. This means the X axis will be at the bottom of the graph if all values of Y are greater than zero, and at the top of the graph if all values of Y are less than zero. (For log scale plots, however, the default X axis position is Y=1.) For horizontal plots, the X axis position defaults to the bottom of the plot.

History

Through PHPlot-5.3.0, the argument was required, and there was no way to restore the default behavior (because the argument value was always converted to an integer). Starting with PHPlot-5.3.1, the argument may be given as an empty string, or omitted, to restore the default behavior.

Through PHPlot-5.1.3, there was no special handling for horizontal plots. The X axis always defaulted to Y=0 or the Y with the smallest absolute value.

Through PHPlot-5.1.0, the default position for the X axis was the bottom of the graph whenever Y=0 was not within the range the graph, regardless of whether the data was all positive or all negative.
