I would like to know how can I make a real-valued plot tick pad with a zero to the right of the decimal point on integer values. This is what I have:

 Plot[0, {x, 8.5, 9.3}, PlotRange -> {{7.9, 11}, {0, 0}}, Axes -> {True, False}, Ticks -> {Range[0.0, 11.0, N[0.2, 4]]}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Thickness[0.02]}]

The ticks are displayed as 8., 8.2, 8.4, ..., 9., ...; I want to see them displayed as 8.0, 8.2, 8.4, ..., 9.0, ...

  • $\begingroup$ Assuming 9.0.1 ....Open Function Navigator. Type "ticks" in the search bar. Scroll down to where it says "Scope" and click the triangle. The first item is "Ticks position and labelling". The third entry is titled "Draw ticks at specified positions". $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 5, 2013 at 2:16

NumberForm can be used to control the number of decimal places.

Plot[0, {x, 8.5, 9.3}, PlotRange -> {{7.9, 11}, {0, 0}}, Axes -> {True, False}, Ticks -> {({#, NumberForm[N@#, {Infinity, 1}]} & /@ Range[0, 11, 1/5]), {}}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Thickness[0.02]}]
