ListContourPlot: AxesLabels? (Q)

[m. r. schaferkotter]

greetings:

when i specify Ticks->None in ListContourPlot, Mma seems to ignore

my request, as well as my request for AxesLabels.

can someone direct me to some help on this?

sincerely,
m. r.

If you look at the Options for ListContourPlot you will see
that Axes is set to False but that Frame is set to True.

To do what you want use the FrameTicks and FrameLabel
options. Here is an example:

In[1]:=
data = Table[ Sin[x Cos[y]],{x,-3,3,.5},{y,-3,3,.5}];

In[2]:=
ListContourPlot[ data ]
Out[2]=
-ContourGraphics-

In[3]:=
Options[ ListContourPlot ]
Out[3]=
{AspectRatio -> 1, Axes -> False, AxesLabel -> None,
AxesOrigin -> Automatic, AxesStyle -> Automatic,
Background -> Automatic, ColorFunction -> Automatic,
ColorOutput -> Automatic, ContourLines -> True,
Contours -> 10, ContourShading -> True,
ContourSmoothing -> True, ContourStyle -> Automatic,
DefaultColor -> Automatic, Epilog -> {}, Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> None, FrameStyle -> Automatic,
FrameTicks -> Automatic, MeshRange -> Automatic,
PlotLabel -> None, PlotRange -> Automatic,
PlotRegion -> Automatic, Prolog -> {},
RotateLabel -> True, Ticks -> Automatic,
DefaultFont :> $DefaultFont,
DisplayFunction :> $DisplayFunction}

In[6]:=
ListContourPlot[ data, FrameTicks -> None,
FrameLabel -> {x Label, y Label}]
Out[6]=
-ContourGraphics-

I hope this helps.

ListContourPlot[] and similar functions don't use axes and ticks in
their default settings. Instead, they have frames with FrameLabel
FrameTicks etc. options. It is explained in the Mma book, or you can
look at Options[ListContourPlot] or similar. (In the Mac frontend, you
can use the Function Browser, a very nifty feature!)
