SVGGraph options: axis_ticks_y

« Return to previous page

Option name:

axis_ticks_y

Default value:

null

Added in version:

3.9

Data type:

array [?]

The datatypes used in this documentation for specifying SVGGraph options are described below. All options can be a literal value of the data type described, a variable containing the data type, or an expression that will produce the data type when evaluated (and they must always be valid PHP expressions).

array: An array, the number and data types of its members will depend on the option for which is it used.
boolean: A boolean TRUE or FALSE value, or any values that convert easily such as 1, "1", 0 and "".
callback: A callable function, which can be either the name of a function or an anonymous function itself.
colour: Any of the colour values supported by SVG inside a single or double quoted string. These include three and six digit hex codes, RGB and RGBA colours, and colour names. SVG uses "none" for no colour, which generally leaves things transparent.
fill: A colour value or one of the gradients and patterns supported by SVGGraph. See the SVGGraph colours page for details.
integer: A negative or positive whole number or 0.
measurement: An integer or float value, or a string containing a number followed by one of these CSS units: px, in, cm, mm, pt, pc.
number: Any number supported by PHP, for example 1 or -3.2 or 1.63e5 or M_PI.
string: Single or double quoted strings. Remember to double-quote your strings if you are inserting a line break:
"Line 1\nLine 2".

Per-dataset:

Multi-axis:

yes [?]

Multi-axis options allow specifying one option for all axes on a multi-axis graph, or an array of options to be used for each axis in turn. If there are more axes than entries in the option array, the sequence will be repeated.

Example:

$settings['axis_taste'] = 'banana';
$settings['axis_smell'] = ['lavender', 'lemon', 'pine'];

For this example, all axes will taste of banana, but the leftmost axis will smell of lavender, the second axis will smell of lemon and the third axis will smell of pine. If there is a fourth axis it will smell of lavender, repeating the sequence.

grid axis

Specifies positions of axis tick marks for Y-axis.

The value of this option should be an array of positions where SVGGraph should place axis tick marks. For multi-axis graphs, the option can be an array of tick mark arrays.

The default value of null for any axis means that SVGGraph will use fixed or calculated spacing based on other options.

Example:

$settings['axis_ticks_y'] = [
  [ 10, 20, 50, 100 ],
  null,
  [ 100, 200, 300, 500, 700 ],
];

Note: this option does not change the length of the axis or its scale, only where the tick marks are drawn.
