The code for the MWE generating this image is given below (click for full-size):
Basically, I had some graphs like on the left, until I realized I need to shift the x axis - this also forces me to move axis y line=middle
(left-hand plot) to axis y line=left
(right-hand plot). My questions are:
- How do I get the xlabel ("t [ms]") and the ylabel ("D"), to be in the same position on the right-hand plot, as they are on the left-hand plot? (hopefully, with a single command to be used both places; that is, without having to use rotate in one, and not use rotate in the other)
- How do I get the zero to disappear as first y axis tick label on the right-hand plot, without entering labels manually?
- How do I get the zero to appear as first x axis tick label on the left-hand plot?
- I like the organization of one
tikzpicture
with twoscope
s inside; however thexshift
of the right-hand plot is trial&error. What would be the recommended "automatic" way to get the two plots side by side, each taking up half of the page width, with this structure (that is, without introducing extraminipage
)?
And a side question: how do I get the axes tick label font to be the same as the rest of the document style (here IEEEtran
)?
Here is the code:
