Description

An Extension of Wilkinson's Algorithm for Position Tick Labels on Axes

Usage

extended(dmin, dmax, m, Q=c(1, 5, 2, 2.5, 4, 3), only.loose=FALSE, w=c(0.25,
    0.2, 0.5, 0.05))

Arguments

dmin

minimum of the data range

dmax

maximum of the data range

m

number of axis labels

Q

set of nice numbers

only.loose

if true, the extreme labels will be outside the data range

w

weights applied to the four optimization components (simplicity, coverage, density, and legibility)

Value

• vector of axis label locations

Details

extended is an enhanced version of Wilkinson's optimization-based axis labeling approach. It is described in detail in our paper. See the references.
