Re: [Veusz-discuss] Plot shapes using axes coordinates
Hi Benjamin, Following your advice, I ended up using polygons, which allow all four coordinates to be specified relative to the axes (as opposed to rectangles, which have a width and height that is always in relative coordinates). The plot looks great :-) thanks! Michael On 08/06/2015 05:41 AM, Benjamin K.

Hi Michael, If you add a line shape, you can change its Position mode from relative to axes and the Mode to point-to-point. In that case, you can specify the exact axes-units coordinates for the start and end points of the lines, so you could have say a line running from (127, 5) to (150, 5) to indicate the segment, or whatever may be appropriate for your data. I hope this helps with what you want to accomplish! Regards, --BKS ___ Veusz-discuss mailing list Veusz-discuss@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/veusz-discuss
[Veusz-discuss] Plot shapes using axes coordinates
Dear all, I'm using Veusz to create 2D scatterplots for a large number of x-coordinates. Because the x-axis is subdivided into different regions I'd like to add some visual reference showing that, for example, the interval [127, 150] is segment 1, while the interval [159, 178] is segment 2. I was hoping to use shapes for this, but it seems I can only specify their widths as a fraction of the figure size.
