C.3 The ‘print-X-axis’ Function
===============================
X axis labels are much like Y axis labels, except that the ticks are on
a line above the numbers. Labels should look like this:
| | | |
1 5 10 15
The first tic is under the first column of the graph and is preceded
by several blank spaces. These spaces provide room in rows above for
the Y axis labels. The second, third, fourth, and subsequent ticks are
all spaced equally, according to the value of ‘X-axis-label-spacing’.
The second row of the X axis consists of numbers, preceded by several
blank spaces and also separated according to the value of the variable
‘X-axis-label-spacing’.
The value of the variable ‘X-axis-label-spacing’ should itself be
measured in units of ‘symbol-width’, since you may want to change the
width of the symbols that you are using to print the body of the graph
without changing the ways the graph is labeled.
