Hi,
I have a very wide plot of some time serie data. In fact, it is so
wide, that to keep the plot readable, I have to truncate it. This is
okay, but I'd still like to display as much of the data as possible.
I can gain some space by shrinking the limits (i.e., enlarge x
limits). I could set enlarge x to false, but this makes the tick
marks unreadable, so I'd like to avoid that. Instead, I'd like to
specify an absolute value in paper dimensions. In particular, I'd
like to set it to 1.5/pgfplots/ticklength.
I first tried this:
enlarge x limits={abs=1cm}
But, that doesn't work:
! Package PGF Math Error: Could not parse input '1cm' as a floating
point number, sorry. The unreadable part was near 'cm'..
pgfplots appears to want the value in axis cs units.
I think that to get this functionality, I'd need a new option to
enlarge x limits, something along the lines of enlarge x
limits={paper=dim}.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Neal
A minimal working example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[small, width=\textwidth, height=.2\textheight]
\addplot[domain=1:1000] {x};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
