labelspgfplotstikz-pgf
I'm endeavouring to make a graph similar to the following using PgfPlots and TikZ.
I can make all of this work, except for the placement of the R=2, R=3, R=5, and R=10 markers on the left-hand side.
It would be nice if PgfPlots could place these automatically – any thoughts as to how? Alternatively, how could they be placed manually?
Thanks!
You can still make use of the trim feature of TikZ: trim axis left is just a shorthand for trim left=(current axis.west). Since you can name your axes, you can specify which axis to use for the trimming. In your case, you can trim the upper tikzpicture using trim left=(plot1.west), name the small side plot plot2, and trim the lower tikzpicture using trim left=(plot1.west),trim right=(plot2.east). In this case, you're adding space on the right-hand side of the lower plot, so it appears to have the same width as the two upper plots.

Replace axis y line*=right with ylabel near ticks, yticklabel pos=right (Thanks Jake):
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.75]
\begin{axis}[
ylabel=Y-Axis, xlabel=X-Axis,
xmin=2, xmax=10, ymin=0, ymax=12, clip=false,
%axis y line*=right% replaced this option with:
ylabel near ticks, yticklabel pos=right
]
\foreach \blah in {0.9,0.5,0.2,0.1,0.05,0.02,0.01,0.005}{
\addplot[mark=none, domain=2:10, thick] {-ln(\blah/x^2)/ln(x)} node [pos=0,left] {$c_2=$}; %Varying c_2 values
}
\end{axis}

Best Answer
You can place nodes along a plot by including
node [pos=<fraction>] {<text>}at the end of the\addplotcommand, wherepos=0is the beginning andpos=1is the end of the plot.By default, objects that are defined as part of the
\addplotcommands are clipped at the axis boundaries, so your nodes would not be visible in this case. To disable the clipping, setclip=falsein theaxisoptions.If you need the clipping, but still want to label your plots outside the axis boundaries, see PgfPlots with labeled plots extend outside the graph box for a (slightly hackish) alternative.
