Axes, coordinates, and formatting#

Control limits, units, transformations, logarithmic axes, formats, and ticks.

-x/--xlim <LIMITS>#

Set x-axis limits in the requested display order, for example [-100,200] or [200,-100].

Separate limits for multiple plots with spaces:

plopm -x "[-100,200] [500,0]"

Default: empty

-y/--ylim <LIMITS>#

Set y-axis limits in the requested display order, for example [0,70] or [70,0].

Separate limits for multiple plots with spaces:

plopm -y "[0,10000] [0,23000]"

Default: empty

-xu/--xunits <UNITS>#

Set spatial-map x-axis units to mm, cm, m, or km.

Default: m

-yu/--yunits <UNITS>#

Set spatial-map y-axis units to mm, cm, m, or km.

Default: m

-asp/--equal-aspect <0|1>#

Scale the axes equally in two-dimensional maps when set to 1.

Default: 1

-rot/--rotation <DEGREES>#

Set the grid rotation angle in degrees for two-dimensional maps.

Default: 0

-tr/--translation <X,Y>#

Set grid translation in the x and y directions, for example [100,-50].

Default: [0,0]

-xlog/--xlog <0|1>#

Enable a logarithmic x-axis with 1. Comma-separated settings are accepted when plots require different values.

Default: 0

-ylog/--ylog <0|1>#

Enable a logarithmic y-axis with 1. Comma-separated settings are accepted when plots require different values.

Default: 0

-xf/--xformat <FORMAT>#

Set the x-axis number format, for example .2e.

Default: empty, so plopm selects the format.

-yf/--yformat <FORMAT>#

Set the y-axis number format, for example .1f.

Default: empty, so plopm selects the format.

-xnt/--xtick-count <COUNT>#

Set the number of x-axis ticks.

Default: 5

-ynt/--ytick-count <COUNT>#

Set the number of y-axis ticks.

Default: 5
