With David Park's "Presentations" packages (http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/DrawGraphicsPage.html), and in particular his CustomTicks funciton, you could do it like this... Needs["Presentations`Master`"] (* will invert range from 0 to 1 *) inv[y_] := 1 - y (* First plot a function of a continuous variable: *) f[x_] := x^2 Draw2D[{Draw[inv@f[x], {x, 0, 1}]}, Axes -> True, Ticks -> {Automatic, CustomTicks[inv, {0, 1, 0.25, 1}]}] (* Second plot discrete data: *) noise = RandomReal[{-0.05, 0.05}, {20}]; yvals = f[Rest@Range[0, 1, 0.05]] + noise Draw2D[{ListDraw[inv@yvals]}, AspectRatio -> 1, Axes -> True, Ticks -> {Automatic, CustomTicks[inv, {0, 1, 0.25, 1}]}] On 6/2/2011 7:17 AM, nivk wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to know how to change the range of a plot on the y-axis to go from larger to smaller numbers. > > Here's an example: > http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys230/lectures/clusters/cm_pleiades.png > > I tried using PlotRange-> but that didn't make any difference. > > Thanks! > -- Murray Eisenberg murray at math.umass.edu Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
