Dear readers,
For some time I'm struggling with all the different options of the Plot command.
I intend to do a very simple task (well, I thought it's simple ;-)
Task:
Draw a Bode diagram of a given transfer function, ie
magnitude plot and phase plot of f[s] /. s-> I w, {w,start, stop}.
The plot is simple, but now they should be lined up such that equal
x-values lie on a vertical line.
Difficulty:
Tick numbers plotted 'outside' affect scaling of the graphics.
(The same is true if you use Frame->True )
4 +
| *
2 + * *
| * *
--+----------*--*------*----+--
--+**-----------+-----------+--
| ****
-200 + *
| *
-400 + *
Solutions?
Manually find a suitable location for the axis ('inside' the PlotRange).
Is this the only way to go for?
Wish:
Add a new option specifying if tick numbers should be 'inside' or 'outside'.
Allow options to GraphicsArray that are common to all those Graphics.
Add a Subplot command for such plots.
Comments and solutions are welcome.
Kind regards
