PolarTicks
is an option for sector charts and polar plots that specifies tick marks for polar axes.
Details


- The following settings can be given for PolarTicks:
-
None no polar tick marks drawn Automatic polar tick marks placed automatically {θticks,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 tmin, tmax to get the tick mark specification - For the angular ticks the following symbolic names can be given: "Degrees", "Radians", "Percent".
- 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 func[tmin,tmax] may return any other tick mark option.
