Parter: Control over the partitioning of the axis
In the above example, the (default) automatic choice of a good partitioning has
been selected. Here, we show how to gain more control over the ticks, in order
to fix their intervals. ...
Partitioners (in the code the short form `parter` is used) take care of
calculating appropriate tick positions for a given axis range. Automatic
partitioners create several tick lists, which are than rated by an axis rater
instance, as explained in the above example. In contrast, manual partitioners
create a single tick list only, which thus doesn't need to be rated at all.
In this example we create a manual partitioner, which places ticks with a
distance of 1/3 and subticks with a distance of 1/6. We then use this
partitioner at two axis, which are identical except for a texter instance (to
show you another feature of the axes in PyX, namely the rational number
arithmetics used to place ticks). The rational numbers are preserved throughout
the whole process of merging ticks, until the texter finally needs to output
the rational numbers. And at the very end the decimal texter steps into the
problem to create a proper representation for the fractions. The solution is
shown at the left part of the example: the texter marks a period to express the
fraction.
Alternatively you can use the rational texter to display the values by
fractions directly.
