wolffd@0 1 function [nAxis] = addTopXAxis (varargin)
wolffd@0 2
wolffd@0 3 % [nAxis] = addTopXAxis (axisH, properties ...)
wolffd@0 4 % Add an X-axis on top (additional to the one on bottom) of the figure,
wolffd@0 5 % with its own ticks labels and axis label (allow double scale).
wolffd@0 6 % Ticks, minor ticks positions and x limits are set to be identical for top and bottom
wolffd@0 7 % axis. Moreover, they are linked, i.e. a modification of one of them, even after execution
wolffd@0 8 % of this function, will result in modification of the other one.
wolffd@0 9 %
wolffd@0 10 % Parameters:
wolffd@0 11 % axisH = handle for axes (dafault = current axes, given by |gca|)
wolffd@0 12 % properties: syntax is two-folded arguments for each property,
wolffd@0 13 % on the form: 'name of property' (case insensitive), value of property
wolffd@0 14 % and properties can be
wolffd@0 15 % xLabStr : the label for the top X-axis (string)
wolffd@0 16 % default = ''
wolffd@0 17 % expression or exp : expression for transforming bottom X-tick labels to
wolffd@0 18 % top X-tick labels. In the expression, |argu| will refer
wolffd@0 19 % to the value of the bottom X-tick labels.
wolffd@0 20 % eg. going from |log10(x)| to linear |x| values will be done with
wolffd@0 21 % the string '10.^argu' for expression.
wolffd@0 22 % default = ''
wolffd@0 23 % Note : if expression needs to use some variables, that are not accessible to this function, they need to be evaluated
wolffd@0 24 % before being passed to this function (see exemples below).
wolffd@0 25 % xTickLabelFormat : display format, used for converting numerical values for tick labels in strings. (string)
wolffd@0 26 % The computation of top axis tick labels using |expression| can lead to numbers taking a lot of space
wolffd@0 27 % because of the precision of the display. Reducing the precision will reduce the size of the labels.
wolffd@0 28 % default = '%4.1f'
wolffd@0 29 %
wolffd@0 30 % Exemples:
wolffd@0 31 %
wolffd@0 32 % axisH = axes % create new axes, and save the handle in axisH
wolffd@0 33 % addTopXAxis(axisH, 'expression', '-argu') % change the label of the ticks by their opposite
wolffd@0 34 %
wolffd@0 35 %
wolffd@0 36 % addTopXAxis('xticklabel', '(k0.*10.^argu)', 'xlabel', '$\lambda_{up}$ (cm)')
wolffd@0 37 % will use the current axis (handle is not passed to the function), and will compute the new X-tick values according to
wolffd@0 38 % x' = k0.*10.^argu;
wolffd@0 39 % where |k0| is a variable whose value has to be set in the 'base' workspace.
wolffd@0 40
wolffd@0 41 %
wolffd@0 42 % V2 - 11/27/2005
wolffd@0 43 % Modifs for V2:
wolffd@0 44 % * - now evaluates expression in 'base' workspace.
wolffd@0 45 % Therefore, variables (like 'k0' in the second example) do not need to be evaluated anymore before being passed,
wolffd@0 46 % as long as they already exist in 'base' workspace. It should allow more complex expressions to be passed than previously.
wolffd@0 47 % Example 2 then becomes
wolffd@0 48 % addTopXAxis('expression', '(k0.*10.^argu)', 'xLabStr', '$\lambda_{up}$ (cm)')
wolffd@0 49 % instead of
wolffd@0 50 % addTopXAxis('expression', ['(', num2str(k0),'.*10.^argu)'], 'xLabStr', '$\lambda_{up}$ (cm)'
wolffd@0 51 % Drawback: the function create/assign a variable called 'axisH' in base workspace. Potential conflicts here ...
wolffd@0 52 % * - properties are not case sensitive anymore
wolffd@0 53 % * - 'exp' can be used instead of 'expression' for property name (following John D'Errico comment, if I understood it well ....)
