<h2>Component architecture<a class="headerlink" href="#component-architecture" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Axes are a fundamental component of graphs although there might be applications
outside of the graph system. Internally axes are constructed out of components,
which handle different tasks axes need to fulfill:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>axis</dt>
<dd><p class="first">Implements the conversion of a data value to a graph coordinate of range [0:1].
It does also handle the proper usage of the components in complicated tasks
(<em>i.e.</em> combine the partitioner, texter, painter and rater to find the best
partitioning).</p>
<p class="last">An anchoredaxis is a container to combine an axis with an positioner and provide
a storage area for all kind of axis data. That way axis instances are reusable
(they do not store any data locally). The anchoredaxis and the positioner are
created by a graph corresponding to its geometry.</p>
</dd>
<dt>tick</dt>
<dd>Ticks are plotted along the axis. They might be labeled with text as well.</dd>
<dt>partitioner, we use “parter” as a short form</dt>
<dd>Creates one or several choices of tick lists suitable to a certain axis range.</dd>
<dt>texter</dt>
<dd>Creates labels for ticks when they are not set manually.</dd>
<dt>painter</dt>
<dd>Responsible for painting the axis.</dd>
<dt>rater</dt>
<dd>Calculate ratings, which can be used to select the best suitable partitioning.</dd>
<dt>positioner</dt>
<dd>Defines the position of an axis.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The names above map directly to modules which are provided in the directory
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">graph/axis</span></code> except for the anchoredaxis, which is part of the axis module
as well. Sometimes it might be convenient to import the axis directory directly
rather than to access iit through the graph. This would look like:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">pyx</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="o">*</span>
<span class="n">graph</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">axis</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">painter</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="c1"># and the like</span>

<span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">pyx.graph</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">axis</span>
<span class="n">axis</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">painter</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="c1"># this is shorter ...</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In most cases different implementations are available through different classes,
which can be combined in various ways. There are various axis examples
distributed with PyX, where you can see some of the features of the axis with a
few lines of code each. Hence we can here directly come to the reference of the
available components.</p>
<span class="target" id="module-graph.axis.axis"></span></div>
<div class="section" id="module-graph-axis-axis-axes">
<h2>Module <a class="reference internal" href="#module-graph.axis.axis" title="graph.axis.axis"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">graph.axis.axis</span></code></a>: Axes<a class="headerlink" href="#module-graph-axis-axis-axes" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The following classes are part of the module <a class="reference internal" href="#module-graph.axis.axis" title="graph.axis.axis"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">graph.axis.axis</span></code></a>. However,
there is a shortcut to access those classes via <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">graph.axis</span></code> directly.</p>
<p>Instances of the following classes can be passed to the <em>**axes</em> keyword
arguments of a graph. Those instances should only be used once.</p>

<dd><p>This class provides a linear axis. <em>min</em> and <em>max</em> define the axis range. When
not set, they are adjusted automatically by the data to be plotted in the graph.
Note, that some data might want to access the range of an axis (<em>e.g.</em> the
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">function</span></code> class when no range was provided there) or you need to specify
a range when using the axis without plugging it into a graph (<em>e.g.</em> when
drawing an axis along a path). In cases where the data provides a range of zero
(e.g. a when plotting a constant function), then a <em>fallbackrange</em> can be set to
guarantee a minimal range of the axis.</p>
<p><em>reverse</em> can be set to indicate a reversed axis starting with bigger values
first. Alternatively you can fix the axis range by <em>min</em> and <em>max</em> accordingly.
When divisor is set, it is taken to divide all data range and position
informations while creating ticks. You can create ticks not taking into account
a factor by that. <em>title</em> is the title of the axis.</p>
<p><em>parter</em> is a partitioner instance, which creates suitable ticks for the axis
range. Those ticks are merged with ticks manually given  by <em>manualticks</em> before
proceeding with rating, painting <em>etc.</em> Manually placed ticks win against those
created by the partitioner. For automatic partitioners, which are able to
calculate several possible tick lists for a given axis range, the <em>density</em> is a
(linear) factor to favour more or less ticks. It should not be stressed to much
(its likely, that the result would be unappropriate or not at all valid in terms
of rating label distances). But within a range of say 0.5 to 2 (even bigger for
large graphs) it can help to get less or more ticks than the default would lead
to. <em>maxworse</em> is the number of trials with more and less ticks when a better
rating was already found. <em>rater</em> is a rater instance, which rates the ticks and
the label distances for being best suitable. It also takes into account
<em>density</em>. The rater is only needed, when the partitioner creates several tick
lists.</p>
<p><em>texter</em> is a texter instance. It creates labels for those ticks, which claim to
have a label, but do not have a label string set already. Ticks created by
partitioners typically receive their label strings by texters. The <em>painter</em> is
finally used to construct the output. Note, that usually several output
constructions are needed, since the rater is also used to rate the distances
between the labels for an optimum. The <em>linkedpainter</em> is used as the axis
painter, when automatic link axes are created by the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">createlinked()</span></code>
method.</p>

<dd><p>This class provides an axis suitable for a bar style. It handles a discrete set
of values and maps them to distinct ranges in graph coordinates. For that, the
axis gets a tuple of two values.</p>
<p>The first item is taken to be one of the discrete values valid on this axis. The
discrete values can be any hashable type and the order of the subaxes is defined
by the order the data is received or the inverse of that when <em>reverse</em> is set.</p>
<p>The second item is passed to the corresponding subaxis. The result of the
conversion done by the subaxis is mapped to the graph coordinate range reserved
for this subaxis. This range is defined by a size attribute of the subaxis,
which can be added to any axis. (see the sized linear axes described below for
some axes already having a size argument). When no size information is available
for a subaxis, a size value of 1 is used. The baraxis itself calculates its size
by suming up the sizes of its subaxes plus <em>firstdist</em>, <em>lastdist</em> and <em>dist</em>
times the number of subaxes minus 1.</p>
<p><em>subaxes</em> should be a list or a dictionary mapping a discrete value of the bar
axis to the corresponding subaxis. When no subaxes are set or data is received
for an unknown discrete axis value, instances of defaultsubaxis are used as the
subaxis for this discrete value.</p>
<p><em>dist</em> is used as the spacing between the ranges for each distinct value. It is
measured in the same units as the subaxis results, thus the default value of
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">0.5</span></code> means half the width between the distinct values as the width for each
distinct value. <em>firstdist</em> and <em>lastdist</em> are used before the first and after
the last value. When set to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">None</span></code>, half of <em>dist</em> is used.</p>
<p><em>title</em> is the title of the split axes and <em>painter</em> is a specialized painter
for an bar axis and <em>linkpainter</em> is used as the painter, when automatic link
axes are created by the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">createlinked()</span></code> method.</p>

<p>Sometimes you want to alter the default size of 1 of the subaxes. For that you
have to add a size attribute to the axis data. The two classes
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">sizedlinear</span></code> and <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">autosizedlinear</span></code> do that for linear axes. Their
short names are <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">sizedlin</span></code> and <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">autosizedlin</span></code>.
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">sizedlinear</span></code> extends the usual linear axis by an first argument <em>size</em>.
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">autosizedlinear</span></code> creates the size out of its data range automatically
but sets an <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">autolinear</span></code> parter with <em>extendtick</em> being <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">None</span></code> in order
to disable automatic range modifications while painting the axis.</p>
<p>The <code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">axis</span></code> module also contains classes implementing so called anchored
axes, which combine an axis with an positioner and a storage place for axis
related data. Since these features are not interesting for the average PyX user,
we’ll not go into all the details of their parameters and except for some handy
axis position methods:</p>

<p>The rating of axes is implemented in <a class="reference internal" href="#module-graph.axis.rater" title="graph.axis.rater"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">graph.axis.rater</span></code></a>. When an axis
partitioning scheme returns several partitioning possibilities, the partitions
need to be rated by a positive number. The axis partitioning rated lowest is
considered best.</p>
<p>The rating consists of two steps. The first takes into account only the number
of ticks, subticks, labels and so on in comparison to optimal numbers.
Additionally, the extension of the axis range by ticks and labels is taken into
account. This rating leads to a preselection of possible partitions. In the
second step, after the layout of preferred partitionings has been calculated,
the distance of  the labels in a partition is taken into account as well at a
smaller weight factor by default. Thereby partitions with overlapping labels
will be rejected completely. Exceptionally sparse or dense labels will receive a
bad rating as well.</p>
