# ! Dimension too large. for tikz

MY aim is to plot only a small part of a data set with tikz but I get the error message ! Dimension too large. <recently read> \pgf@xx when I try limit the plot area with xmin and xmax. Is there a way to plot my data set with tikz? I'm already using tikz for all my other data in the document and it seems to be quite inconsistent to use for a single diagram a different tool or design. This particular plot shows only a small part of the data and is normalized to nanosencods. Any help will be much appreciated.

• can you not rescale the data before giving it to tikz (or any plotting program) given the resolution of a typical printer plotting 4.331319308127319e-10 is likely to be doing a lot of work for no visible gain. – David Carlisle Mar 13 '15 at 21:33
• I'm already adjusting the data with 'table [x expr=\thisrow{/net22 X}*1e9 - 10e3, y={/net22 Y}, col sep=comma] {data.csv};' and at the end tikz has only a small area to plot because in this particulat plot most points are not used – jlk Mar 13 '15 at 21:40
• but with tex fixed point arithmetic 1e-10 * 1e9 is more or less going to be 0*1e9 ..... – David Carlisle Mar 13 '15 at 21:50

You have a data that varies over at least 5 order of magnitude and you are thinking of changing pgfplots instead of logarithms.

First, pgfplots is TikZ so if pgfplots cannot handle then TikZ at 99% of the cases won't too because internally everything is mapped back to low level PGF paths. So that is not going to get you anywhere.

Then, what you are basically doing is drawing this inherently log curve and then zoom in to its tiny portion. Because pgfplots works like that. You change xmin/xmax values but the curve is generated anyhow. If you want to restrict the curve to a particular domain then you use the properly named restrict x to domain=..:.. key. Then pgfplots will discard the values before the curve is actually constructed which saves both time and effort.

Example with an exciting curve,

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.12}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}

\begin{semilogxaxis}[grid=major,ymin=0,ymax=1.2,
restrict x to domain=5.6:5.8,% Since log axis, we restrict in terms of the exponent
log basis x = 10,
]
table [x expr=\thisrow{/net22 X}*1e9 - 10e3, y={/net22 Y}, col sep=comma] {data.csv};
\end{semilogxaxis}
\end{tikzpicture}%
\end{document}


• Thank you very much, I actually tried to achieve something similar with 'domain=-10:60' but it didn't really work. – jlk Mar 14 '15 at 11:13

If I rescale the X axis a bit I get
