Hello. I am trying to find an old post that gave an undocumented feature of
Mathematica. I can't find it in the archives and I have been searching for a
long time.
Someone posted an undocumented feature that would plot the horizontal ticks
in Radians. Does anyone remember that feature?
For example,
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2*Pi}];
has the tick numbers 1-6 on the horizontal axis.
I have to use
Ticks -> {{0, Pi/2, Pi, (3*Pi)/2, 2*Pi},Automatic}
to give it a more meaningful look.
I would be curious if anyone remembers that undocumented feature in order to
avoid having to add Ticks -> to get variations of Pi.
It sure would seem nice if there was a "quick option" to use variations of
Pi along the x-axis. I understand Mathematica 6 has graphics enhancements,
so maybe this feature will be added "officially." Isn't ver 6. due out about
now?
Thank you very much for your time.
Dana
