public class WcmAxes
extends Drawable

A set of horizontal and vertical axes that look OK and have reasonable, labeled tick marks. The number and spacing of tick marks changes depending on the scale on the axes in AUTO_TICKS mode. (The heuristics for computing this could use some improvement.)

In ABSOLUTE_TICKS and RATIONAL_TICKS mode, you explicitly specify the major and minor tick mark spacing. RATIONAL_TICKS in addition will try to convert the tick labels to rational numbers and display the labels as fractions (including factoring out multiples of pi or e).

setXAvoidOverlap

public void setXAvoidOverlap(boolean avoidOverlap)

Set whether or not x tick labels are allowed to overlap. This only is valid for ABSOLUTE_TICKS and RATIONAL_TICKS (for AUTO_TICKS, it is not used; auto mode always avoids overlap). The default is true.

Parameters:

avoidOverlap - whether x tick labels can overlap

isYAvoidOverlap

public boolean isYAvoidOverlap()

Get whether or not y tick labels are allowed to overlap. This only is valid for ABSOLUTE_TICKS and RATIONAL_TICKS (for AUTO_TICKS, it is not used; auto mode always avoids overlap).

Returns:

whether y tick labels can overlap
