Hi all,

I'm working on a simulation for some misurement with a Thomson spectrometer and I'm having some issue with the plot layout.
In x and y-axis I have magnetic and electric deflection and I have other two axis on top and right giving momentum and energy info.
I am not able to write the secondary tick label in the proper way: as defoult MatLab writes tick label as integer and a (x10^-12) at the end of the label but on the bottom of the screen. If I use:
Code:
set(gca, 'YTickLabel', num2str(get(gca,'YTick')','%d'))

it writes the tick label as "6.00000e^12" and I have some overlaps.

Moreover if I make the plot window bigger the secondary axes don't resize properly.
Last the plot title is written too high...

Could somebody help me in fixing this bugs?
Thanks

P.S.: I have attached two images with a screenshot and a jpg made by MatLab and the code I use for plot[/code]

You could try using the 'XTickLabel' and 'YTickLabel' properties in combination with the 'xlabel' and 'ylabel' functions to manually set the tick labels. You could also use the 'Position' property of the axes to adjust the size of the axes. For the title, you could use the 'title' function to manually set the position of the title.
 

What is MatLab and how is it used in the context of plotting?
