SetYTickLabelPos

SetYTickLabelPos — Position the Y tick labels

Synopsis

$plot->SetYTickLabelPos($ytlp)
    

Description

SetYTickLabelPos determines where (and if) the Y tick labels are drawn. The labels can be drawn on the left side of the plot, on the right side of the plot, in both positions, at the Y axis (even if it is in the middle of the plot), or not drawn at all.

Parameters

$ytlp

A string indicating the desired position for the Y tick labels:

PositionDescription
plotleftTick labels on the left side of the plot
plotrightTick labels on the right side of the plot
bothTick labels on both left and right sides of the plot
yaxisTick labels at Y axis (even if the axis is in the middle of the plot)
noneNo tick labels

Notes

The default position for the Y tick labels is on the left side of the plot.

This applies only to tick labels. You may want the tick marks to be in the same positions as the tick labels. To position the tick marks, see SetYTickPos.

Unlike the X axis, which is by default drawn at Y=0, the Y axis is by default drawn at the left side of the plot, not at X=0. It can be moved to a different position with SetYAxisPosition. If it isn't moved, 'yaxis' and 'plotleft' positions are the same.
