Working with Makie.jl

TapeMeasure.jl provides an extension that loads when the user calls using Makie, using CairoMakie, or other makie package in their code.

Changing Plot Settings:

You can change the plot settings using the following keyword arguments.

Settings

  • color::Symbol - changes the color of the dimension lines as well as the labels
  • with_mask::Bool - the label will not "mask" over the dimension line
  • linewidth - the line width of the dimension lines
  • fontsize - the size of the label font
  • rotation - radians of rotation for the label

The keywords are a bit different from Plots.jl in order to be more consistent with Makie ecosystem, but that may change if it is an issue for users. See below for examples:

Examples

dims = h_dim(x, y)

f = Figure()
ax = Axis(f[1,1], autolimitaspect=1, dim1_conversion=uc, dim2_conversion=uc)
lines!.(ax, x, y, color=:lightgrey)
plot!(ax, dims, color=:blue, with_mask=false, fontsize = 10)
f
Example block output
dims = v_dim(y, x)

f = Figure()
ax = Axis(f[1,1], autolimitaspect=1, dim1_conversion=uc, dim2_conversion=uc)
lines!.(ax, y, x, color=:lightgrey)
plot!(ax, dims, rotation = 0)
f
