I tried to plot a data set containing seconds and milliseconds with pgfplots.I’ve found a solution for my task here (pgfplots data time format), which I changed a bit. This principally works very well.My code goes here:
\documentclass{article}\usepackage{pgfplots}\pgfplotsset{compat=newest}\usepgfplotslibrary{dateplot}\def\transformtime#1:#2:#3!{ \pgfkeys{/pgf/fpu=true,/pgf/fpu/output format=fixed} \pgfmathparse{#1*3600-\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/timeplot zero}*3600+#2*60+#3} \pgfkeys{/pgf/fpu=false}}\pgfplotsset{ timeplot zero/.initial=0, timeplot/.style={ y coord trafo/.code={\expandafter\transformtime##1!}, y coord inv trafo/.code={% \pgfkeys{/pgf/fpu=true,/pgf/fpu/output format=fixed,} \pgfmathsetmacro\hours{floor(##1/3600)+\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/timeplot zero}} \pgfmathsetmacro\minutes{floor((##1-(\hours - \pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/timeplot zero})*3600)/60)} \pgfmathsetmacro\seconds{##1-floor((##1)/60)*60} \def\pgfmathresult{\pgfmathprintnumber{\hours}:\pgfmathprintnumber{\minutes}:\pgfmathprintnumber[fixed zerofill]{\seconds}} \pgfkeys{/pgf/fpu=false} }, scaled y ticks=false, yticklabel=\tick }}\begin{document}\begin{tikzpicture}\begin{axis}[ timeplot, timeplot zero=0, grid=major, grid style=dashed, ytick={00:12:00, 00:13:00, 00:14:00},]\addplot table {State Time -13 00:12:42.40-12 00:12:57.06-11 00:13:17.59-10 00:13:40.83-9 00:14:07.44-8 00:14:31.11-7 00:14:04.28-6 00:14:12.07-5 00:14:09.27-4 00:13:59.92-3 00:13:56.82-2 00:13:55.17-1 00:13:53.520 00:13:52.471 00:13:59.322 00:14:00.583 00:13:43.124 00:13:49.055 00:13:28.63};\end{axis}\end{tikzpicture}\end{document}The problem now is that I get odd tick labels (both 12:60 and 14:0.00 is not I was expecting...):
I found a similar question (Date plot using pgfplots with odd tick label), but with that solution I unfortunately do not know how to solve my problem. Could anyone here give me a hint?
