  • $\begingroup$ A bit of a hack, this should be supported through a Ticks option no? $\endgroup$ Commented May 13, 2020 at 14:26
  • $\begingroup$ @M.R. It sure should be (indeed that was my first attempt), but I was unable to make Ticks work here, hence the hack, $\endgroup$ Commented May 13, 2020 at 15:20
  • $\begingroup$ So, I did the same hack on my plot and it worked. Now, I need to figure out how it worked. I understand the rule substitution but I do not understand the reason it works. For example, Text[Style[value_Real,{}],opts__] is a pattern match but I would not have been able to come up with that pattern myself. I figure value_Real matches any real value but I have never seen that before "the value part". Also, why the opts__ ? Does this match any options to be used in the substitution (my guess). $\endgroup$ Commented May 13, 2020 at 16:09
  • $\begingroup$ I noted that in my version of Mathematica (should be the most recent) the function SequenceForm is obsolete and no longer exists. It is to be replaced with Row or Text. I am not sure how this SequenceForm adds to the description of the InputForm so not sure how Row or Text would be used as a substitute. $\endgroup$ Commented May 13, 2020 at 16:11

    $\begingroup$ @K7PEH The output of InputForm is normally formatted as text and does not allow the usual context-aware selection (e.g. keep clicking with the mouse to expand selection in a syntax aware fashion). SequenceForm makes the output more easily editable. Row does not work as well for this; Text is an acceptable but inferior substitute. $\endgroup$ Commented May 13, 2020 at 16:17
