I've seen this problem with the y axis label positioning as well. If the range of y axis data is positive, the label is positioned centred at ymax/2, which is fine for a range where ymin is zero, but results in the label being plotted off the graphics area for some data sets. In your case I would guess it has been centred at y = 204000.
A quick for now is to make the y_axis label a blank string using
call winop@('%pl[y_axis=@]')
(just in case it just creeps into your plot), and add the label using a call back function to draw the text on the graphics region. My post above (Thu Sep 28, 2017 12:49 am) shows the basic idea using a call to draw_characters@
If your colour ramp is drawn in a separate gr region, you could instead draw it to internal memory and then copy across to the pl region using COPY_GRAPHICS_REGION@ as part of the call back function.
Or if it exists as an external file by using IMPORT_IMAGE@, again as part of the call back. |

Thanks for the suggestions, Ken!
I've only started playing with the new native %pl but I see you already have quite a few tricks of the trade!

Silicondale,
That's a good and simple scaling routine, but if you use it in the following code and run with 32 bit and 64 bit and compare the outputs you get a surprise as the return values are sufficiently different to cause problems with your 'nice' graph scales.
Code: | program main
real*8 upr, alr
upr = 3.1d0
alr = 0.0d0
call v_autsca (upr, alr)
write(6,*) upr, alr
end |
Change one line from size = 10.0**lr to size = 10.d0**lr and 32 bit and 64 bit will return the same values, and avoid surprises later. |

Good suggestion! As I said, the routine is decades old. I wrote it originally in the 1970s when graphics meant Calcomp pen plotters! 64-bit coding wasn't something we even considered then. Double precision was used sparingly and only when absolutely necessary, because of memory constraints. |

One more devilry. When I compile my or Ken's programs from previous pages 9-10 of this thread
Code: | real*8, dimension (5) :: X = (/1., 20., 60., 200., 600./)
real*8, dimension (5) :: Y1 = (/2.9e4, 300., 3., 0.2, 0.0022/)
real*8, dimension (5) :: Y2 = (/2.5e4, 500., 2., 0.4, 0.042/)
real*8, dimension (5) :: Y3 = (/2.2e4, 722., 2., 0.5, 0.072/)
CALL DIAGLV (0)
CALL TEXTMN(0.4) ! setting font size
CALL AXLBJS('*C','C') ! centering tic labels
call thckmg('LINE',4.) ! setting line width

I get

Dan,
I don't get these messages.
Could the file be changed from ASCII Encoding ( see FILE > Advanced Save )
Compile with /lis and look at default compile options you are using

I have the same problem as Dan. Looking at the original source code I posted, and the results of copying/pasting from the forum, it seems that single spaces are fine, but every two consecutive spaces in the source file are replaced by one space and one non printing character in the forum text. There are more than 40 of these in Dan's post above. Definitely devilry at work! |

John, Confirmed there's no problem using Internet Explorer, but if you switch to Microsoft Edge which became the default on my main machine following a recent Windows 10 update the problem occurs.

Good catch, Ken. Google Chrome has no problems too.
It was always very bad thing to be among first testers of Microsoft bugware. The only reason MS is still not bankrupt is that it was chosen not by computer revolution or free competition but exclusively by organized finances to make it a monopoly. |

I tried out your scales generation code with some random values and got the following results.
There is a problem when the scales go negative.
I made a simple mod to the code (see below) and that problem sėdisappears.
The results from the modded code show that a) there is still a problem for log-log case when '0' is selected as an end of range.
Also, for smaller graphs up to 10% 'white space' on one end of graph could be a 'luxurious' luxury. It can be solved relatively easily by going down an order of magnitude on that side to minimise the white space to 1% max.
here are the results
ans here is the modified code ...
Code: | !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
subroutine v_autsca (upr, alr)
implicit double precision (a-h,o-z)
!
! ************************************************************
! * v_autsca auto-scaling algorithm ... sets min and max *
! * values for plotting at round numbers which *
! * include the full data range. alr and upr on input*
! * hold the raw values, on output hold the rounded *
! * values *
! ************************************************************
! first make sure alr and upr are the right way round!
if (upr.lt.alr) then
t = upr
upr = alr
alr = t
end if
!
range = abs(upr - alr)
if ( range.le.1.0e-6 ) go to 9000
rl = alog10(range)
lr = int(rl) - 1
size = 10.0**lr
up = upr/size
al = alr/size
if(up.ge.0.0) then
up = (aint(up) + 1.0)*size
else
up = (aint(up))*size
endif
if(al.ge.0.0) then
al = (aint(al))*size
else
al = (aint(al - 1.0))*size
endif
upr = up
alr = al
9000 return
end |

Many thanks for those tests, John! - and the code update. Of course I should have said that the main purpose of the original coding was geographic plots where we never had either negative coordinate values or logarithmic transforms! National Grid and UTM coordinates are always positive. Yes, one of my colleagues did write a version of this routine which allows specification of the orders of magnitude to use, but I no longer have a copy of that. As for transformed data, not just logarithmic but also probability scales, which we did use for geochemical data, we either took the easy way out and hard-coded the limits or we applied this scaling on log values after conversion. For the probability scale, this is always from 0 to 1 - but since (like with logarithms) both ends go off to infinity, we used a standard range of 0.0001 to 0.9999 |

BTW, I prefer this single line shortcuts for y_min and y_max which are used in
Code: | call winop@("%pl[y_min=Axis_min"]') | when the plotted data has minimum and maximum values y0min and y0max
Code: | Axis_min = 10.d0**(int(log10(max(1d-30,y0min))))
Axis_max = 10.d0**(int(log10(max(1d-30,y0max)))) |

If there is a consensus on the best algorithm to provide nice limits then I could add a new option to apply it. |

Paul - not sure you'll get consensus on this - or even if setting "nice" limits is something that should be done within %pl. However, there are two things that I think would be much more useful (for me at least!) -
(1) when plotting points, allow each point to have its own symbol, size, and colour - so instead of just x,y arrays we have x,y,sym,size,RGB arrays. Maybe there's already a way to do this, but I haven't found it yet. Could even add an array with the link values, but since this controls the linkage between points it isn't a property that refers to just one point, unless you make it a property defining the link from the previous point in the list.
(2) to allow multiple over-plotting of sets of points and lines on the same graph. For example, coastlines of a set of islands with points (as in (1) above) scattered over each island. Actually N_GRAPHS may already do what we need, so perhaps this is already available. Limit needs to be increased to something much bigger than 10 ! The problem with N_GRAPHS is that the argument list for the %pl call can get very long if you have a lot of different x,y arrays, and you need to know in advance exactly how many - it can't easily (or maybe not at all) be changed at run time.
If (1) is implemented, there is much less of a requirement for (2).
