Hi,

I need to plot two a vector {y_1,...,y_n} against a vector {x_1,...,x_n} and I want to the latter to be distributed with equal distances between the elements. Mathematica automatically scales the x-axis so that it is linear with respect to the x-values, i.e. if x={1,2,10}, then the distance between the second and third element will be eight times longer than the distance between the second and first element. I would like the distances to be of equal length.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Daniel

You can change the Ticks:

yList = RandomInteger[{1, 5}, 10]
xList = RandomInteger[{1, 100}, 10] // Sort

xTicks = Table[{i, xList[[i]]}, {i, 1, Length[xList]}]
ListPlot[yList, Ticks -> {xTicks, Automatic}]

Hello,

this might work:

y = {1, 3, 0, -4}
x = {1, 2, 10, 50}
ListPlot[y
 , PlotStyle -> PointSize[0.03]
 , Ticks -> {Transpose[{Range[Length[y]], x}], Automatic}
 ]

Greetings
