TAxis Class Reference

Class to manage histogram axis.

This class manages histogram axis. It is referenced by TH1 and TGraph. To make a graphical representation of an histogram axis, this class references the TGaxis class. TAxis supports axis with fixed or variable bin sizes. Labels may be associated to individual bins. See examples of various axis representations drawn by class TGaxis.

◆ CenterLabels()

void TAxis::CenterLabels ( Bool_t  center = kTRUE)
inline

Center axis labels.

If center = kTRUE axis labels will be centered (hori axes only) on the bin center default is to center on the primary tick marks This option does not make sense if there are more bins than tick marks

Definition at line 175 of file TAxis.h.

◆ CenterTitle()

Int_t  labFont = -1,
TString  labText = "" 
)

Define new text attributes for the label number "labNum".

It allows to do a fine tuning of the labels. All the attributes can be changed, even the label text itself.

Parameters
[in]labNumNumber of the label to be changed, negative numbers start from the end
[in]labAngleNew angle value
[in]labSizeNew size (0 erase the label)
[in]labAlignNew alignment value
[in]labColorNew label color
[in]labFontNew label font

Typically called as a command via the interpreter. Normally use "delete" operator when object has been allocated on the heap.

◆ ExecuteEvent()

void TAxis::ExecuteEvent ( Int_t  event,
Int_t  px,
Int_t  py 
)
virtual

Execute action corresponding to one event.

This member function is called when an axis is clicked with the locator. The axis range is set between the position where the mouse is pressed and the position where it is released. If the mouse position is outside the current axis range when it is released the axis is unzoomed with the corresponding proportions. Note that the mouse does not need to be in the pad or even canvas when it is released.

Reimplemented from TObject.

◆ FindBin() [1/3]

Int_t TAxis::FindBin ( const char *  label)
virtual

Find bin number with label.

If the List of labels does not exist create it and make the axis alphanumeric If one wants just to add a single label- just call TAxis::SetBinLabel If label is not in the list of labels do the following depending on the bit TAxis::kCanExtend; of the axis.

  • if the bit is set add the new label and if the number of labels exceeds the number of bins, double the number of bins via TH1::LabelsInflate
  • if the bit is not set and the histogram has labels in each bin set the bit automatically and consider the histogram as alphanumeric if histogram has only some bins with labels then the histogram is not consider alphanumeric and return -1

-1 is returned only when the Axis has no parent histogram

Definition at line 335 of file TAxis.cxx.

◆ FindBin() [2/3]

Int_t TAxis::FindBin ( Double_t  x)

◆ GetBinCenter()

Definition at line 475 of file TAxis.cxx.

◆ GetBinCenterLog()

Double_t TAxis::GetBinCenterLog ( Int_t  bin) const

  • the center in lin is (100-1)/2=50.5
  • the center in log would be sqrt(1*100)=10 (!=log(50.5))

◆ SetParent()

virtual void TAxis::SetParent ( TObject obj)
inlinevirtual

Definition at line 157 of file TAxis.h.

◆ SetRange()

void TAxis::SetRange ( Int_t  first = 0,
Int_t  last = 0 
)
virtual

Set the viewing range for the axis from bin first to last.

To set a range using the axis coordinates, use TAxis::SetRangeUser.

If first == last == 0 or if last < first or if the range specified does not intersect at all with the maximum available range [0, fNbins + 1], then the range is reset by removing the bit TAxis::kAxisRange. In this case the functions TAxis::GetFirst() and TAxis::GetLast() will return 1 and fNbins.

If the range specified partially intersects [0, fNbins + 1], then the intersection range is set. For instance, if first == -2 and last == fNbins, then the set range is [0, fNbins] (fFirst = 0 and fLast = fNbins).

NOTE: for historical reasons, SetRange(0,0) resets the range even though Bin 0 is technically reserved for the underflow; in order to set the range of the axis so that it only includes the underflow, use SetRange(a,0), where a < 0

Definition at line 914 of file TAxis.cxx.

◆ SetRangeUser()

void TAxis::SetRangeUser ( Double_t  ufirst,
Double_t  ulast 
)
virtual

Definition at line 939 of file TAxis.cxx.

◆ SetTicks()

void TAxis::SetTicks ( Option_t option = "+")
virtual

Set ticks orientation.

option = "+" ticks drawn on the "positive side" (default) option = "-" ticks drawn on the "negative side" option = "+-" ticks drawn on both sides

Definition at line 965 of file TAxis.cxx.

◆ SetTimeDisplay()

virtual void TAxis::SetTimeDisplay ( Int_t  value)
inlinevirtual

Definition at line 161 of file TAxis.h.

◆ SetTimeFormat()

void TAxis::SetTimeFormat ( const char *  tformat = "")
virtual

Change the format used for time plotting.

The format string for date and time use the same options as the one used in the standard strftime C function, i.e. : for date :

     %a abbreviated weekday name
     %b abbreviated month name
     %d day of the month (01-31)
     %m month (01-12)
     %y year without century

for time :

     %H hour (24-hour clock)
     %I hour (12-hour clock)
     %p local equivalent of AM or PM
     %M minute (00-59)
     %S seconds (00-61)
     %% %

This function allows also to define the time offset. It is done via F which should be appended at the end of the format string. The time offset has the following format: 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss' Example:

     h = new TH1F("Test","h",3000,0.,200000.);
     h->GetXaxis()->SetTimeDisplay(1);
     h->GetXaxis()->SetTimeFormat("%d\/%m\/%y%F2000-02-28 13:00:01");

This defines the time format being "dd/mm/yy" and the time offset as the February 28th 2003 at 13:00:01

If F is not specified, the time offset used will be the one defined by: gStyle->SetTimeOffset. For example like that:

     TDatime da(2003,02,28,12,00,00);
     gStyle->SetTimeOffset(da.Convert());

void TAxis::ZoomOut ( Double_t  factor = 0,
Double_t  offset = 0 
)
virtual
