Plot

I want to use ms instead of s as the unit of x-axis. But frameticks seems not to work here as it cannot change the value of x-axis.

How to replace the number of x-axis 0.0001 with 1 or 0.1? Or just scale the x-axis?

  • $\begingroup$ Both of the answers below is working. Could I click accept to them both? Thank you guys. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 26, 2015 at 2:25
  • $\begingroup$ However, I noticed that if we add "Frame -> True" in the program, they cannot work again. Do you have any idea to solve this? $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 26, 2015 at 2:34

Here is a way to do what you are asking.

Before

Plot[Sin[200 Pi t], {t, 0., .01}]

before

After

Plot[Sin[200 Pi t], {t, 0., .01},
  Ticks -> {{#, 1000 #} & /@ FindDivisions[{0., .01}, 5] // N, Automatic}]

after

Update

This update is in response to the comment made by drabus.

It's annoying but frame ticks must be specified somewhat differently from axis ticks. So if you are framing the plot, do it this way:

Plot[Sin[200 Pi t], {t, 0., .01},
  Frame -> True,
  FrameTicks ->
    {Automatic, {{#, 1000 #} & /@ FindDivisions[{0., .01}, 5] // N, Automatic}}]

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks very much. It is solved. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 26, 2015 at 2:41
  • $\begingroup$ If you add a frame, then you need to control ticks with the FrameTicks option and drop the Ticks option. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 26, 2015 at 2:44
  • $\begingroup$ I noticed the ticks below x-axis are intergers but with a dot behind may lead mistake to readers. Can anybody remove the dots? $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 26, 2015 at 14:40

    $\begingroup$ @m_goldberg I got it right. It has to be like this: Frame -> True, FrameTicks -> {{Automatic, None}, {{#, 1000 #} & /@ FindDivisions[{0., .01}, 5] // N, None}} $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 18, 2018 at 10:13

$\begingroup$ 
Plot[x^2, {x, .0001, .0005},
 Ticks -> {Table[{i, ToString[10000 i]}, {i, .0001, .0005, .0001}], 
   Automatic}
 ]

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks for you, too. Your answer help me a lot when I just want the frameticks downside the frame instead of ticks appear on both upside and downside. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 26, 2015 at 2:52

  • $\begingroup$ @Chad Meng Sure: Ticks -> {Table[{i, Round[10000 i]}, {i, .0001, .0005, .0001}] $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 26, 2015 at 15:37
