Hi,
I am using AXIS to plot a secondary x axis with customed tick position
and labels. For some reason, I am not able to find a way to avoid
having the 'zeroth' tick labeled with '0.000'. This is what I am using
in my code (after I use plot with xstyle=8):
;Array of labels (numbers 0 to 5 --> strings)
lab = strtrim(string([0,1,2,3,4,5]),1)
;Array of position of ticks in data units
V = [0.0,0.123,0.435,0.668,1.12,1.67]
;Add secondary axis (x axis at top)
axis, xaxis=1, xticks=6, xtickv=V, xtickname=lab
With this code, IDL draws the secondary x-axis as required but also
adds a label '0.000' at the location of the yaxis. This label is wrong
but I don't know how to get rid of it. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Steph

Isn't xticks the number of tick intervals? (Instead of the number of
ticks.) If so, then this should work:
axis, xaxis=1, xticks=5, xtickv=V, xtickname=lab
Greetings, Heinz
