TGaxis Class Reference

The axis painter class.

Instances of this class are generated by the histograms and graphs painting classes when TAxis are drawn. TGaxis is the "painter class" of TAxis. Therefore it is mainly used via TAxis, even if is some occasion it can be used directly to draw an axis which is not part of a graph or an instance. For instance to draw an extra scale on a plot.

Basic definition

A TGaxis is defined the following way:

Where:

  • xmin : X origin coordinate in user's coordinates space.
  • xmax : X end axis coordinate in user's coordinates space.
  • ymin : Y origin coordinate in user's coordinates space.
  • ymax : Y end axis coordinate in user's coordinates space.
  • wmin : Lowest value for the tick mark labels written on the axis.
  • wmax : Highest value for the tick mark labels written on the axis.
  • ndiv : Number of divisions.
    • ndiv=N1 + 100*N2 + 10000*N3
    • N1=number of 1st divisions.
    • N2=number of 2nd divisions.
    • N3=number of 3rd divisions. e.g.:
      • ndiv=0 --> no tick marks.
      • ndiv=2 --> 2 divisions, one tick mark in the middle of the axis.
  • chopt : Drawing options (see below).
  • gridlength: grid length on main tick marks.

The example below generates various kind of axis.

void gaxis(){
auto c1 = new TCanvas("c1","Examples of TGaxis",10,10,700,500);
c1->Range(-10,-1,10,1);
auto axis1 = new TGaxis(-4.5,-0.2,5.5,-0.2,-6,8,510,"");
axis1->Draw();
auto axis2 = new TGaxis(-4.5,0.2,5.5,0.2,0.001,10000,510,"G");
axis2->Draw();
auto axis3 = new TGaxis(-9,-0.8,-9,0.8,-8,8,50510,"");
axis3->SetTitle("axis3");
axis3->SetTitleOffset(0.5);
axis3->Draw();
auto axis4 = new TGaxis(-7,-0.8,-7,0.8,1,10000,50510,"G");
axis4->SetTitle("axis4");
axis4->Draw();
auto axis5 = new TGaxis(-4.5,-0.6,5.5,-0.6,1.2,1.32,80506,"-+");
axis5->SetLabelSize(0.03);
axis5->SetTextFont(72);

auto axis7 = new TGaxis(-5.5,0.85,5.5,0.85,0,4.3e-6,510,"");
axis7->Draw();
auto axis8 = new TGaxis(8,-0.8,8,0.8,0,9000,50510,"+L");
axis8->Draw();
// One can make a vertical axis going top->bottom. However the two x values should be
// slightly different to avoid labels overlapping.
auto axis9 = new TGaxis(6.5,0.8,6.499,-0.8,0,90,50510,"-");

Definition with a function

Instead of the wmin,wmax arguments of the normal definition, the name of a TF1 function can be specified. This function will be used to map the user coordinates to the axis values and ticks.

A TGaxis is defined the following way:

const char *func, Int_t ndiv, Option_t *chopt,
Double_t gridlength)

Where:

  • xmin : X origin coordinate in user's coordinates space.
  • xmax : X end axis coordinate in user's coordinates space.
  • ymin : Y origin coordinate in user's coordinates space.
  • ymax : Y end axis coordinate in user's coordinates space.
  • func : function defining axis labels and tick marks.
  • ndiv : Number of divisions.
    • ndiv=N1 + 100*N2 + 10000*N3
    • N1=number of 1st divisions.
    • N2=number of 2nd divisions.
    • N3=number of 3rd divisions. e.g.:
      • ndiv=0 --> no tick marks.
      • ndiv=2 --> 2 divisions, one tick mark in the middle of the axis.
  • chopt : Drawing options (see below).
  • gridlength: grid length on main tick marks.

It should be noted that func is not defined in the user's coordinate space, but in the new TGaxis space. If x is the original axis, w the new axis, and w = f(x) (for example, f is a calibration function converting ADC channels x to energy w), then func must be supplied as f^{-1}(w).

Examples:

{
TCanvas *c2 = new TCanvas("c2","c2",10,10,700,500);
gPad->DrawFrame(0.,-2.,10.,2);
TF1 *f1=new TF1("f1","-x",-10,10);
TGaxis *A1 = new TGaxis(0,2,10,2,"f1",510,"-");
A1->SetTitle("axis with decreasing values");
A1->Draw();
TF1 *f2=new TF1("f2","exp(x)",0,2);
TGaxis *A2 = new TGaxis(1,1,9,1,"f2");
A2->SetTitle("exponential axis");
A2->SetLabelSize(0.03);
A2->SetTitleSize(0.03);
A2->SetTitleOffset(1.2);
A2->Draw();
TF1 *f3=new TF1("f3","log10(x)",1,1000);
TGaxis *A3 = new TGaxis(2,-2,2,0,"f3",505,"");
A3->SetTitle("logarithmic axis");
A3->SetLabelSize(0.02);
A3->SetTitleSize(0.03);
A3->SetTitleOffset(0.); // Axis title automatically placed
A3->Draw();
}

Note that this functionality has some limitations and does not follow all the TGaxis setting. In particular the number of divisions or the maximum number digits do not apply.

Logarithmic axis

By default axis are linear. To define a TGaxis as logarithmic, it is enough to create it with the option "G".

When plotting an histogram or a graph the logarithmic scale can be set using:

  • gPad->SetLogx(1); set the logarithmic scale on the X axis
  • gPad->SetLogy(1); set the logarithmic scale on the Y axis

When the SetMoreLogLabels() method is called more labels are drawn when in logarithmic scale and there is a small number of decades (less than 3).

Blank axis

To draw only the axis tick marks without the axis body, it is enough to specify the option "B". It useful to superpose axis.

Arrow on axis

Since
ROOT version 6.27/01:

To draw an arrow at the end of the axis use the option ">". To draw it at the beginning of the axis use the option "<". To draw it on both ends use "<>".

{
auto c = new TCanvas("c","c",0,0,500,500);
c->Range(-11,-11,11,11);
auto f2 = new TF1("x2","x*x",-10,10);
f2->Draw("same");
auto f3 = new TF1("x3","x*x*x",-10,10);

Tick marks' orientation

By default tick marks are drawn on the positive side of the axis, except for vertical axis for which the default is negative. The chop parameter allows to control the tick marks orientation:

  • chopt = "+": tick marks are drawn on Positive side. (default)
  • chopt ="-": tick mark are drawn on the negative side.
  • chopt = "+-": tick marks are drawn on both sides of the axis.
  • chopt = "U": Unlabelled axis, default is labeled.

Tick marks' size

By default, tick marks have a length equal to 3 per cent of the axis length. When the option "S" is specified, the length of the tick marks is equal to fTickSize*axis_length, where fTickSize may be set via TGaxis::SetTickSize.

When plotting an histogram h the tick marks size can be changed using:

  • h->GetXaxis()->SetTickLength(0.02); set the tick length for the X axis
  • gStyle->SetTickLength(0.02,"x"); set the tick length for the X axis of all histograms drawn after this instruction.

A good way to remove tick marks on an axis is to set the tick length to 0: h->GetXaxis()->SetTickLength(0.);

Labels' positioning

Labels are normally drawn on side opposite to tick marks. However the option "=" allows to draw them on the same side. The distance between the labels and the axis body can be changed with SetLabelOffset.

Labels' orientation

By default axis labels are drawn parallel to the axis. However if the axis is vertical then are drawn perpendicular to the axis.

Labels' position on tick marks

By default axis labels are centered on tick marks. However, for vertical axis, they are right adjusted. The chop parameter allows to control the labels' position on tick marks:

  • chopt = "R": labels are Right adjusted on tick mark.(default is centered)
  • chopt = "L": labels are Left adjusted on tick mark.
  • chopt = "C": labels are Centered on tick mark.
  • chopt = "M": In the Middle of the divisions.

Labels' format

Blank characters are stripped, and then the label is correctly aligned. the dot, if last character of the string, is also stripped, unless the option "." (a dot, or period) is specified. if SetDecimals(kTRUE) has been called all labels have the same number of decimals after the "." The same is true if gStyle->SetStripDecimals(kFALSE) has been called.

In the following, we have some parameters, like tick marks length and characters height (in percentage of the length of the axis (user's coordinates)) The default values are as follows:

  • Primary tick marks: 3.0 %
  • Secondary tick marks: 1.5 %
  • Third order tick marks: .75 %
  • Characters height for labels: 4%
  • Labels offset: 1.0 %

By default, an exponent of the form 10^N is used when the label values are either all very small or very large. One can disable the exponent by calling axis.SetNoExponent(kTRUE).

TGaxis::SetExponentOffset(Float_t xoff, Float_t yoff, Option_t *axis) is static function to set X and Y offset of the axis 10^n notation. It is in % of the pad size. It can be negative. axis specifies which axis ("x" or/and "y"), default is "x" if axis = "xz" set the two axes

Alphanumeric labels

Axis labels can be any alphanumeric character strings. Such axis can be produced only with histograms because the labels'definition is stored in TAxis. The following example demonstrates how to create such labels.

TCanvas *hlabels2()
{
const Int_t nx = 12;
const Int_t ny = 20;
const char *month[nx] = {"January","February","March","April","May",
"June","July","August","September","October","November",
"December"};
const char *people[ny] = {"Jean","Pierre","Marie","Odile","Sebastien",
"Fons","Rene","Nicolas","Xavier","Greg","Bjarne","Anton",
"Otto","Eddy","Peter","Pasha","Philippe","Suzanne","Jeff",
"Valery"};
TCanvas *c1 = new TCanvas("c1","demo bin labels",10,10,600,600);
c1->SetGrid();
c1->SetLeftMargin(0.15);
c1->SetBottomMargin(0.15);
TH2F *h = new TH2F("h","test",3,0,3,2,0,2);
h->SetCanExtend(TH1::kAllAxes);
h->SetStats(0);
for (Int_t i=0;i<15000;i++) {
Int_t rx = gRandom->Rndm()*nx;
Int_t ry = gRandom->Rndm()*ny;
h->Fill(people[ry],month[rx],1);
}
h->LabelsDeflate("X");
h->LabelsDeflate("Y");
h->LabelsOption("v");
h->Draw("text");
TPaveText *pt = new TPaveText(0.6,0.85,0.98,0.98,"brNDC");
pt->AddText("Use the axis Context Menu LabelsOption");
pt->AddText(" \"a\" to sort by alphabetic order");
pt->AddText(" \">\" to sort by decreasing values");
pt->AddText(" \"<\" to sort by increasing values");
pt->Draw();
return c1;

Because the alphanumeric labels are usually longer that the numeric labels, their size is by default equal to 0.66666 * the_numeric_labels_size.

Changing axis labels

Since
ROOT version 6.07/07:

After an axis has been created, TGaxis::ChangeLabel allows to define new text attributes for a given label. A fine tuning of the labels can be done. All the attributes can be changed as well as the text label itself.

When plotting an histogram or a graph the labels can be changed like in the following example which shows a way to produce \(\pi\)-axis :

{
TF1* f = new TF1("f","TMath::Cos(x/TMath::Pi())", -pi, pi);
TAxis* a = f->GetXaxis();
a->SetNdivisions(-502);
a->ChangeLabel(1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,"-#pi");
a->ChangeLabel(-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,"#pi");
f->Draw();
}

Definition TAttAxis.cxx:233

Definition TAxis.h:30

Definition TMath.h:37

Number of divisions optimisation

By default the number of divisions on axis is optimised to show a coherent labelling of the main tick marks. The number of division (ndiv) is a composite integer given by:

ndiv = N1 + 100*N2 + 10000*N3

  • N1 = number of 1st divisions.
  • N2 = number of 2nd divisions.
  • N3 = number of 3rd divisions.

by default the value of N1, N2 and N3 are maximum values. After optimisation the real number of divisions will be smaller or equal to these value. If one wants to bypass the optimisation, the option "N" should be given when the TGaxis is created. The option "I" also act on the number of division as it will force an integer labelling of the axis.

On an histogram pointer h the number of divisions can be set in different ways:.

  • Directly on the histogram. The following will set the number of division to 510 on the X axis of h. To avoid optimization the number of divisions should be negative (ie: -510);
    h->SetNdivisions(510, "X");
  • On the axis itself:
    h->GetXaxis()->SetNdivisions(510, kTRUE);
    constexpr Bool_t kTRUE
    Definition RtypesCore.h:100

The first parameter is the number of division. If it is negative of if the second parameter is kFALSE then the number of divisions is not optimised. And other signature is also allowed:

h->GetXaxis()->SetNdivisions(10, 5, 0, kTRUE);

Maximum Number of Digits for the axis labels

The static function TGaxis::SetMaxDigits sets the maximum number of digits permitted for the axis labels above which the notation with 10^N is used. For example, to accept 6 digits number like 900000 on an axis call TGaxis::SetMaxDigits(6). The default value is 5. fgMaxDigits must be greater than 0. Warning: even when called on a particular TGaxis* instance, this static function changes globally the number of digits for all axes (X, Y, ...) in the canvas. If you want to change the maximum number of digits N only of the current TGaxis*, and not all the others, use axis->SetNdivisions(N*1000000 + (axis->GetNdiv()%1000000)) instead of axis->SetMaxDigits(N).

Optional grid

The option "W" allows to draw a grid on the primary tick marks. In case of a log axis, the grid is only drawn for the primary tick marks if the number of secondary and tertiary divisions is 0. SetGridLength() allows to define the length of the grid.

When plotting an histogram or a graph the grid can be set ON or OFF using:

  • gPad->SetGridy(1); set the grid on the X axis
  • gPad->SetGridx(1); set the grid on the Y axis
  • gPad->SetGrid(1,1); set the grid on both axis.

Time axis

Histograms' axis can be defined as "time axis". To do that it is enough to activate the TAxis::SetTimeDisplay attribute on a given axis. If h is an histogram, it is done the following way:

.cpp
h->GetXaxis()->SetTimeDisplay(1); // The X axis is a time axis

Two parameters can be adjusted in order to define time axis:

The time format:

Defines the format of the labels along the time axis. It can be changed using the TAxis TAxis::SetTimeFormat. The time format is the one used by the C function strftime(). It's a string containing the following formatting characters:

  • 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
    • Y year with 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)
    • %% %

The other characters are output as is. For example to have a format like dd/mm/yyyy one should do:

.cpp
h->GetXaxis()->SetTimeFormat("%d\/%m\/%Y");

The time offset:

This is a time in seconds in the UNIX standard UTC format (this is an universal time, not the local time), defining the starting date of an histogram axis. This date should be greater than 01/01/95 and is given in seconds. There are three ways to define the time offset:

By setting the global default time offset:

.cpp
TDatime da(2003,02,28,12,00,00);
gStyle->SetTimeOffset(da.Convert());
R__EXTERN TStyle * gStyle
Definition TStyle.h:414
This class stores the date and time with a precision of one second in an unsigned 32 bit word (950130...
Definition TDatime.h:37
void SetTimeOffset(Double_t toffset)
Change the time offset for time plotting.
Definition TStyle.cxx:1806

If no time offset is defined for a particular axis, the default time offset will be used. In the example above, notice the usage of TDateTime to translate an explicit date into the time in seconds required by TAxis::SetTimeFormat.

By setting a time offset to a particular axis:

.cpp
TDatime dh(2001,09,23,15,00,00);
h->GetXaxis()->SetTimeOffset(dh.Convert());

Together with the time format using TAxis::SetTimeFormat:

The time offset can be specified using the control character F after the normal time format. F is followed by the date in the format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

Example:

.cpp
h->GetXaxis()->SetTimeFormat("%d\/%m\/%y%F2000-02-28 13:00:01");

Notice that this date format is the same used by the TDateString function AsSQLString. If needed, this function can be used to translate a time in seconds into a character string which can be appended after F. If the time format is not specified (before `F), the automatic one will be used.

If a time axis has no specified time offset, the global time offset will be stored in the axis data structure.

The following example illustrates the various possibilities.

{
gStyle->SetTitleH(0.08);
TDatime da(2003,2,28,12,00,00);
gStyle->SetTimeOffset(da.Convert());
auto ct = new TCanvas("ct","Time on axis",0,0,600,600);
ct->Divide(1,3);
auto ht1 = new TH1F("ht1","ht1",30000,0.,200000.);
auto ht2 = new TH1F("ht2","ht2",30000,0.,200000.);
auto ht3 = new TH1F("ht3","ht3",30000,0.,200000.);
for (Int_t i=1;i<30000;i++) {
auto noise = gRandom->Gaus(0,120);
ht1->SetBinContent(i,noise);

}

The histogram limits times in seconds. If wmin and wmax are the histogram limits, the time axis will spread around the time offset value from TimeOffset+wmin to TimeOffset+wmax. Until now all the examples had a lowest value equal to 0. The following example demonstrates how to define the histogram limits relatively to the time offset value.

{
// Define the time offset as 2003, January 1st
TDatime T0(2003,1,1,0,0,0);
auto X0 = T0.Convert();
// Define the lowest histogram limit as 2002, September 23rd
TDatime T1(2002,9,23,0,0,0);
auto X1 = T1.Convert()-X0;
// Define the highest histogram limit as 2003, March 7th
TDatime T2(2003,3,7,0,0,0);
auto X2 = T2.Convert(1)-X0;
auto h1 = new TH1F("h1","test",100,X1,X2);
for (Int_t i=0;i<30000;i++) {
Double_t noise = r.Gaus(0.5*(X1+X2),0.1*(X2-X1));

}

Usually time axis are created automatically via histograms, but one may also want to draw a time axis outside an "histogram context". Therefore it is useful to understand how TGaxis works for such axis.

The time offset can be defined using one of the three methods described before. The time axis will spread around the time offset value. Actually it will go from TimeOffset+wmin to TimeOffset+wmax where wmin and wmax are the minimum and maximum values (in seconds) of the axis. Let's take again an example. Having defined "2003, February 28 at 12h" we would like to see the axis a day before and a day after. A TGaxis can be created the following way (a day has 86400 seconds):

.cpp
TGaxis *axis = new TGaxis(x1,y1,x2,y2,-100000,150000,2405,"t");
Option_t Option_t TPoint TPoint const char x2
Option_t Option_t TPoint TPoint const char x1
Option_t Option_t TPoint TPoint const char y2
Option_t Option_t TPoint TPoint const char y1

the t option (in lower case) means it is a "time axis". The axis goes form 100000 seconds before TimeOffset and 150000 seconds after.

So the complete macro is:

{

Thanks to the TLatex directive #splitline it is possible to write the time labels on two lines. In the previous example changing the SetTimeFormat line by

.cpp
axis->SetLabelOffset(0.15);
axis->SetTimeFormat("#splitline{%Y}{%d\/%m}");
void SetLabelOffset(Float_t labeloffset)

will produce the following axis:

The following example shows time axis on a TGraph:

{
TDatime da1(2008,02,28,15,52,00);
TDatime da2(2008,02,28,15,53,00);
double x[2],y[2];
y[0] = 1.;
y[1] = 2.;
x[0] = da1.Convert();
x[1] = da2.Convert();

c->Range(-6,-0.1,6,0.1);
auto *axis = new TGaxis(-5.5,0.,5.5,0.,0.0,100,510,"S");
axis->SetName("axis1");
axis->SetTitle("Axis Title");
axis->SetTitleSize(0.2);
axis->SetLabelSize(0.2);
axis->SetTickSize(0.15);
axis->SetTitleColor(kBlue);
axis->SetTitleFont(42);
axis->ChangeLabel(1,-1,-1,-1,2);
axis->ChangeLabel(3,-1,0.);
axis->ChangeLabel(5,30.,-1,0);
axis->ChangeLabel(6,-1,-1,-1,3,-1,"6th label");
axis->ChangeLabel(-2,-1,-1,-1,3,-1,"2nd to last label");
axis->Draw();
}

Notes:

  • If an attribute should not be changed just give the value "-1".
  • If labnum=0 the list of modified labels is reset.
  • To erase a label set labSize to 0.
  • If labText is not specified or is an empty string, the text label is not changed.

◆ SetMaxDigits()

void TGaxis::SetMaxDigits ( Int_t  maxd = 5)
static

Static function to set fgMaxDigits for axis.

fgMaxDigits is the maximum number of digits permitted for the axis labels above which the notation with 10^N is used.For example, to accept 6 digits number like 900000 on an axis call TGaxis::SetMaxDigits(6). The default value is 5. fgMaxDigits must be greater than 0. Warning: this static function changes the max number of digits in all axes. If you only want to change the digits of the current TGaxis instance, use axis->SetNdivisions(N*1000000 + (axis->GetNdiv()%1000000)) instead of axis->SetMaxDigits(N).

void TGaxis::SetNoExponent ( Bool_t  noExponent = kTRUE)
virtual

Set the NoExponent flag.

By default, an exponent of the form 10^N is used when the label values are either all very small or very large. One can disable the exponent by calling axis.SetNoExponent(kTRUE).

  • 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)
  • %% %
