PolarTicks
PolarTicks
is an option for sector charts and polar plots that specifies tick marks for polar axes.
DetailsDetails
- The following settings can be given for PolarTicks:
-
None no polar tick marks drawn Automatic polar tick marks placed automatically {
ticks,rticks}separate specifications for angular and radial ticks - With the Automatic setting, tick marks are usually placed at points whose coordinates have the minimum number of digits in their decimal representation.
- For each axis, the following tick mark options can be given:
-
None no tick marks drawn Automatic tick mark positions and labels chosen automatically {t1,t2,...} tick marks drawn at the specified positions {{t1,label1},{t2,label2},...} tick marks drawn with the specified labels {{t1,label1,len1},...} tick marks with specified scaled length {{t1,label1,{plen1,mlen1}},...} tick marks with specified lengths in the positive and negative directions {{t1,label1,len1,style1},...} tick marks with specified styles func a function to be applied to
,
to get the tick mark specification - For the angular ticks the following symbolic names can be given:
,
,
. - If no explicit labels are given, the tick mark labels are given as the numerical values of the tick mark positions.
- Any expression can be given as a tick mark label.
- Tick mark lengths are given as a fraction of the distance across the whole plot.
- Tick mark styles can involve any graphics directives.
- The tick mark function
may return any other tick mark option.

Place polar tick marks and labels automatically:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= | ![]() |
Place polar tick marks at the specified positions:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
Specify overall polar ticks style, including polar tick labels, using TicksStyle:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
