IXTaxis

The IXTaxis object contains a string defining the units code, a string defining actual units and a string defining annotation for the axes

The elements of the object are as follows:

Element	Type	Description
base	IXTbase	object needed for internal reasons
caption	char	caption to annotate the plot with
units	char	units of the axes (e.g. 'milliseconds')
code	char	units code used for conversions

Creating an IXTaxis object

The following syntax is used to create an IXTaxis object

>>label = IXTaxis('caption', 'units', 'code')

It is usually used as part of other objects, most commonly IXTdataset_1d, IXTdataset_2d, IXTrunfile.

Example:

>> xlabel = IXTaxis('Time of Flight', 'microseconds', 't')

>> ylabel = IXTaxis('Spectrum Number', ' ', ' ')

>> slabel = IXTaxis('Intensity', 'arb', ' ')

>> w = IXTdataset_2d(IXTbase, 'Test Data', signal, error, slabel, x, xlabel, false, y, ylabel, false)

creates an IXTdataset_2d object with the x label as time of flight in microseconds, the y label as spectrum number and signal intensity in arbitrary units.
