我需要手动计算图表的Ticklabels和Tickrange。
我知道“标准”算法可以生成漂亮的刻度线（参见http://books.google.de/books?id=fvA7zLEFWZgC&pg=PA61&lpg=PA61&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false），我也知道这个Java实现。
问题是，这个算法生成的刻度线有点“太聪明”了。也就是说，算法决定了应该显示多少个刻度线。我的要求是始终有5个刻度线，但这些刻度线当然应该是漂亮的。朴素的方法是取最大值，除以5，再乘以刻度线数。这里的值显然不是最优的，而且刻度线也不够美观。
请问有人知道解决这个问题的方法或者有一个正式的算法描述提示吗？

那么，这将输出漂亮格式的数字，以便您可以在需要创建漂亮刻度的任何应用程序中使用。=D
Tick Spacing: 0.05
Nice Minimum: -0.1
Nice Maximum: 0.2
maxTicks设置为20，minPoint设置为0，maxPoint设置为5。我发现需要25个刻度才能填满从0到25的范围，而不是最大的20个。我认为通过在niceNum函数中将<=改为<来解决了这个问题，但我并不完全确定。 - Ceresmin = -10 和 max = -5，则 range = max - min = 5。但是，如果您想要反转 y 轴，则会得到负范围。要处理这种情况，只需在对数表达式中取范围的绝对值即可。 - Klas Lindbäck这是JavaScript版：

Math.ceil来计算niceMax。但是这个Swift版本使用了floor，我认为这一定是一个错误。 - Hironclass NiceScale

你应该能够通过进行少量修正来使用Java实现。
将maxticks更改为5。
将计算方法更改为：
private void calculate() {
this.range = niceNum(maxPoint - minPoint, false);
this.tickSpacing = niceNum(range / (maxTicks - 1), true);
this.niceMin =
Math.floor(minPoint / tickSpacing) * tickSpacing;
this.niceMax = this.niceMin + tickSpacing * (maxticks - 1); // Always display maxticks
}
免责声明：请注意，我没有测试过这个代码，所以您可能需要进行一些微调才能使其看起来好看。我的建议是在图表顶部添加额外的空间，以始终为5个刻度留出空间。在某些情况下，这可能看起来很丑陋。
