Igor Graph "Split Axis" -related question

Fri, 08/27/2010 - 10:20 am

Hello,

I used "SplitAxis" macro of IGOR to split the x-axis of my graph.

It splits exactly as I need but I need to expand (broaden) the left side and to make the right side more narrow.... Basically, I need to move the split point to the right, otherwise the Left is too crowded!

I am attaching a picture with what I need to do (to move both of the axes to the right; to widen the left-side of the plot and to narrow the right part of it)...

I will be so thankful for any suggestions!

The two pieces of your horizontal axis are actually two independent axes; you can do what you need in the Modify Axis dialog.

Point the mouse at one of the pieces of the axis and double-click to bring up the dialog. On the Axis tab, you can set the relative lengths of the pieces by changing the settings Draw between. Note that the settings for the two pieces of axis are independent; you can make the overlap by accident (or if you want them to). If you have added split marks, they won't move when you do this; the easiest way to fix it is to remove them and put them back on.
